Cantonese-style mooncakes – Bohu also eats homemade mooncakes, it’s true!

Overview

Let’s share what my husband saw about the mooncakes - during the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoy the flowers, the moon and the fragrance of autumn, homemade mooncakes with good ingredients, good intentions and good health. Since I started baking, my husband seems to have become more poetic, and he talks about everything when he has nothing to do. It puts me in a good mood, and naturally I am willing to make more delicious things for them, father and daughter.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add inverted syrup and water and mix well

   

2. 2 Add salad oil and stir (you need to choose vegetable oil without special smell, such as corn oil, sunflower oil, etc.).

   

3. 3 Sift in flour and milk powder

   

4. 4 First use a spatula to cut and mix until moist

   

5. 5 Then use your hands to form a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

   

6. 6 Divide the bean paste filling into 30g pieces and shape into balls.

   

7. 7 Divide the risen pie crust into 20g pieces, roll into balls and set aside

   

8. 8 (Generally, the ratio of mooncake skin to filling is 2:8. If you like thicker skin, you can use 3:7 or 4:6.)

   

9. 9 Take a portion of the skin, flatten it and wrap it with the filling.

   

10. 10 While turning, push up the pie crust so that it evenly covers the filling until it tightens into a round ball shape.

    

11. 11 Dip hand powder into the mold, turn it around and tap out the excess powder. At this time, the hand powder should evenly cover the inside of the mold.

    

12. 12 Put the mooncake embryo into the mold and sprinkle some flour on the chopping board

    

13. 13 Press the mold hard and push out the mooncake to complete one.

    

14. 14 The following is how to make mooncakes with egg yolk and bean paste filling: 40 grams of mooncake embryo, 45 grams of bean paste, and 1 salted egg yolk (you can first bake the salted egg yolk in the oven until oily)

    

15. 15 The use of the mold is the same as before. First, put some flour inside, put the mooncake embryo in, and twist the mold with your hands to adjust the depth.

    

16. 16 Flatten it with your hands, turn it over on the silicone pad, press the lever with your hands, and squeeze out the mooncake.

    

17. 17 Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for about 10 minutes on upper and lower heat. Take it out until the edges turn slightly yellow. Brush the surface of the mooncake twice with egg yolk liquid and bake for another 10 minutes until the surface is golden brown.
