Four Color Momoyama Mooncakes

Overview

By chance, I searched for the new favorite of healthy mooncakes - Momoyama mooncakes. Internet introduction to Momoyama mooncakes: The Momoyama mooncake crust is made from traditional Japanese golden Momoyama skin and has a unique flavor. Momoyama skin originated from Momoyama, Japan. It is secretly prepared with white kidney bean paste, egg yolk, milk, cream and other ingredients. It is famous for its delicate taste. Applying Momoyama cake skin to mooncakes has changed the tradition of using wheat flour to make mooncake skins. Today's Momoyama mooncakes are richer in color and have more types of fillings. I have never eaten authentic Japanese Momoyama mooncakes. The recipe comes from the Internet, and the production method has changed a little. Although it may be different from the authentic Momoyama mooncakes, everyone who has tried it has unanimously praised it. Compared with traditional mooncakes, the taste is more delicate, less sweet, and richer in color. Originally, you could search for ready-made Taoshan skin on Tao Although it takes more time. I took very detailed photos of each step, which looks very complicated. As long as you follow it step by step, you can make healthy and delicious mooncakes. The following quantities can probably make about 16 mooncakes of 40 grams. You can search for what white kidney beans are. They are a very nutritious bean, so I won’t introduce them here.
