Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Fry it dry. It is best to fry it hard when making mooncake fillings, otherwise it will be difficult to wrap. If the filling is moist, the mooncakes will also easily crack. After cooling, it will be better to put it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

   

2. 2 Put an appropriate amount of peanut oil in a non-stick pan, fry the purple sweet potato puree in the pan, and add an appropriate amount of white sugar, according to your preferred sweetness.

5. 5 To make mooncake skin, you can also make the skin first and then fry the filling, whichever you like. Mix syrup, peanut oil, water, milk powder and flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for more than an hour.

   

6. 6 I made 75g mooncakes, with 25g of crust and 50g of filling. You can also adjust the ratio of crust and filling according to your preference.

   

7. 7 Flatten the pie crust with your hands and put the purple sweet potato filling on it.

   

8. 8 Wrap it tightly and roll in some flour to prevent mucous membranes.

   

9. 9 Sprinkle some flour into the mooncake mold, put the dough in, and press it firmly on the chopping board.

   

10. 10 Roll out the mooncake embryo and peel it off

    

11. 11 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for ten minutes. After everything is done, spray water on the mooncake embryo, bake in the middle rack of the oven for 5 minutes until the mooncake is set.

    

12. 12 Take it out and brush it with a thin layer of egg yolk (don’t brush too much, it will look ugly after baking) and then put it in the middle rack of the oven and bake it for about 15 minutes. The specific temperature and time will depend on your oven and observation.

    

13. 13 Once out of the oven, put in a sealed bag and let it sit for a day until the mooncakes are soft and oily before you can enjoy them.
