Snowskin mooncake

Overview

Every time before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I look forward to going home soon, enjoying the full moon with my family and experiencing the happiness of reunion. Of course, this is my biggest wish. What also excites me is the traditional delicacy that must be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival - mooncakes. In the north, the typical five-nut mooncake is my favorite. White sesame seeds, melon seeds, raisins, and sugar are made into fillings. The dough and pastry are made into a pie crust. The fillings are wrapped in a mold and molded into a mold to form a mooncake base, which is then baked in an oven. The freshly baked mooncakes are also delicious. However, traditional mooncakes are rich in oil and sugar and are high-calorie foods. People have begun to pay more and more attention to the nutrition of mooncakes and the innovation of production techniques. Out of my love for food, I couldn't resist the rising trend of mooncakes and started researching on mooncakes. From the mooncake fillings to the crust, every attempt that lasts for several hours is a test of one's perseverance. Making, taking photos, writing Weibo, and writing recipes from before the festival to after the festival. The snowskin mooncakes made by Chef Dong may not be the most delicious, but they are definitely made with care. I sincerely hope that my method will allow most people to enjoy delicious snowskin mooncakes. Snowskin mooncakes are relatively simple to make, do not require baking, and the making tools are relatively easy to prepare. As long as you prepare the raw materials, you can make beautiful and interesting mooncakes.
