Cantonese style mince mooncake
Overview
Baiguo mooncake is a more traditional mooncake. It is divided into two types: Suzhou-style Baiguo and Cantonese-style Baiguo. The ingredients are similar but the production methods are different. You can adjust it according to your own preferences if you make it yourself. I don’t like fat mooncakes, so I gave up on them. I slightly adjusted the sweetness of the fillings. It doesn’t have a very sweet texture. It’s great
