Egg yolk and bean paste mooncakes

Overview

The temperature has dropped slightly recently, so it’s time to bake the mooncakes! Big salted egg yolk, sweet bean paste, made by yourself, it is delicious, not greasy, not greasy, clean and hygienic! One of the foodies in my family doesn’t like sweets, but the mooncakes contain Jinqixiang salted egg yolks. The whole taste is sweet and salty when wrapped in bean paste filling. After taking a bite, I couldn’t stop. I said it tasted better than the ones bought outside and the egg yolks were solid. I even asked to take a few pieces to my work to share with my colleagues, haha.
