Bean Paste Mooncake
1.
Pour the syrup, soap and corn oil into a large bowl and mix well
2.
Sift in low-gluten flour
3.
Mix into a uniform dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and wake up for 1 hour
4.
First divide the dough and red bean paste into small balls. The ratios are 3:7, 4:6, 5:5. I have made these 3 ratios. I think 5:5 is better. Too much red bean paste makes it too sweet.
5.
Flatten the ball, wrap it with red bean paste, and gently close the mouth
6.
Push slowly and round it
7.
Wrap a little flour on the outer skin, and put the small ball into the mold
