Cantonese-style mooncakes with various fillings
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and mooncakes are indispensable. Those sold outside are always not so trustworthy, so I might as well make them myself. Making mooncakes is actually not that difficult, it’s just a little troublesome to make it yourself, but it’s very satisfying to make a beautiful finished product. It just so happens that Gourmet World has a Baking Road event, so I will participate in it. For those friends who are new to baking, I hope I can help you. Tip: The mooncakes I make are 50 grams each, so the amount of filling ingredients in the recipe should be doubled proportionally. Please pay attention to the tips below!

Authentic and delicious egg yolk cake
Speaking of delicious Chinese dim sum, egg yolk puff pastry must be one of the best. The layers of skin make it crispy and fall apart when you bite into it. The oily and salty aroma of salted egg yolk and the sweetness of bean paste or lotus paste gradually spread to the tip of your tongue. It's so delicious that you can't stop eating it. The private model comes from the popular egg yolk cake gift box. One box contains multiple flavors such as honey bean, lotus paste, matcha, taro, etc., as well as a whole oily and fragrant salted egg yolk. One bite is super satisfying! The recipe has a lot in common with Su-style mooncakes. Traditional egg yolk puff pastry uses lard. Nowadays, butter is often used, which eliminates the trouble of boiling lard and enhances the taste. So this recipe can also be replaced with butter! The dosage remains unchanged!

Cantonese style white lotus mooncake
Lotus Seed Mooncake seems to be an unavoidable classic among mooncakes. When it comes to making mooncakes or giving mooncakes as gifts, it seems impossible to avoid it. In fact, I have long been tired of lotus seed mooncakes. I will eat them until I get tired of them, and then I will get tired of them. However, it seems to be a very strange feeling to make mooncakes without lotus paste filling. What's more, its audience is so broad. Just do it for another year. About the mooncake mold. In previous years, I used spring-loaded plastic molds. This year I plan to take a retro route and turn out the three-piece wooden mold and use it. In previous years, I thought the mooncakes made from it were a bit big, but later I discovered that they are actually not that big. The weight of the filled mooncakes does not exceed 50 grams, with an average of 40-45 grams, which is within the acceptable range. So, it doesn't have to sit idle anymore. Use a wooden mold to make mooncakes, knock it left and right, and pull out the cake dough. It has a unique sense of tradition. No wonder making mooncakes was called "making mooncakes" at that time. The mooncakes cut out of the wooden mold are cone-shaped, small at the top and large at the bottom. The surface is not as smooth as those made from plastic molds, but it feels like the mooncakes I ate when I was a child. But, at that time, there seemed to be no lotus paste filling, right? The classic at that time seemed to be bean paste. . .

Cantonese style lotus seed mooncake
Mooncakes originally originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing defeated the Turks by relying on the hidden message of mooncakes. He returned in triumph on August 15th. Since then, eating mooncakes has become an annual custom. However, the description of appreciating the moon and eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the "West Lake Tour Zhihui" of the Ming Dynasty. August 15th is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. Folks send mooncakes to each other to symbolize reunion. There are four main categories of traditional mooncakes based on origin, sales volume and characteristics, including Cantonese-style mooncakes, Beijing-style mooncakes, Soviet-style mooncakes and Chaozhou-style mooncakes. Common mooncake fillings include lotus paste, bean paste, ham... In recent years, there have been more and more mooncake varieties, but I still prefer traditional mooncakes and the traditional taste.

Lotus paste and egg yolk cake
When you are over thirty, have you found that many of your friends have started to maintain health? No more staying up late, no more clubbing, and changing weekend programs from bungee jumping and skiing to cafe cinemas? More and more people are starting to post their step counts, and won’t go home until they reach the top of the list? In the content of the chat, in addition to children’s courses, the elderly’s health includes Sanfu Sanjiu patching, acupuncture and massage. Whenever I see teenagers talking in an old-fashioned way about how I was when I was a kid, I can't resist the urge to strangle them to death. Human powerlessness not only begins with the discovery of a gray hair on the head, but too many times, the years themselves are enough to make human power unable to do what it wants. But life always goes on, we ignore the bad things and decorate every day with joy. Just like when Christmas is clearly a month away, the streets and alleys are filled with Christmas trees and lights, creating a great atmosphere that makes people happy just by looking at it. This year, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day happen to be on a weekend, so the atmosphere of celebration will be even stronger. I have planned the Christmas Eve menu in advance, and even decided on the snacks for afternoon tea. My favorite is the lotus paste and egg yolk cake. I bought a lot of white lotus paste filling during the Mid-Autumn Festival and had two bags left. It’s perfect to use it with egg yolks to make pastries. The sweetness of the lotus seed, the glutinous and slightly salty egg yolk, and the melting crispness of the meringue, when combined with rose tea, I feel that I have the strength to resist life again~~
