Old-fashioned mooncakes with pulp and five nuts
Overview
My husband and I both like old-fashioned mooncakes. They are much crispier than the Cantonese style. We spent a lot of effort to get this recipe. If you like it, you can try it

Ingredients
Steps
-
Add 600g of white sugar, 300g of water and 2 to 3 lemon slices and bring to a boil over medium heat until the sugar dissolves to make a syrup. Remove from the pan and let cool for later use
-
Grind the peanuts and add other filling ingredients and mix well
-
Knead them into round balls (the color of the peanut kernels comes from forgetting to peel them)
-
Do it in sequence
-
Mix 340g of gravy and 50g of honey and peanut oil evenly, pour in the flour and stir
-
Mix well and knead into a dough. Rest for 2 hours and set aside
-
Divide the relaxed dough into small portions
-
Press it into a cake with your hands
-
Wrap in fillings
-
Place the wrapped mooncakes into the mooncake mold and print your favorite pattern
-
Spray a layer of water evenly on the surface and pour it into the oven. The temperature and time will depend on your oven. Since the oven I use is simple and does not require a temperature setting, I can only observe it at any time for about 20 minutes
-
Appreciating the finished product, this one was brushed with egg wash, but the brushing is always uneven.

I think it’s more beautiful without egg wash
