Bear Fun Cantonese Mooncakes
1.
Prepare the materials for mooncakes. The materials mentioned here are the materials for the mooncake crust, and the filling materials should be prepared by yourself.
First mix the invert syrup, soap and peanut oil with a manual whisk
2.
Pour in the all-purpose flour and mix it with a spatula to form a dough, then use the spatula to make the flour even and smooth and you can see the dry powder.
3.
Add 310 grams of the kneaded dough to the cocoa powder and knead it. The cocoa powder can be increased or decreased according to the color by yourself. Then wrap the two doughs in plastic wrap and wake up for at least two or three hours.
4.
First use a filling to wrap your favorite inner filling. Mine is too sweet, so I knead in the right amount of floss. You can also add a little bit of fried sesame peanuts in it.
5.
Take 90% of the chocolate crust (the other 10% is used to make bear ears), then divide into several small doses and knead them into balls to make mooncake crusts, and wrap the fillings in (remind that the crust is as thin as possible, and the crust is too much It is easy to collapse. If the filling is too soft to pack, the filling can be placed in the freezer layer of the refrigerator and frozen hard. Each filling I pack is 29 grams, and the skin is 21 grams)
6.
Knead some of the remaining cocoa shells to make ears and noses, and make the original color pie shells for bear mouths and eyes. Be careful not to make the ears too big. If they are too big, they will fall down easily when roasted. The ears are best placed directly above the spherical shape. Will not fall and deform
7.
Put each ready-made bear on a small piece of greased paper for easy transfer to the baking tray. The rest of the skin and filling can be used to make moon cakes in another mold
8.
Preheat the upper and lower temperature of the oven at 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Before baking, spray a little water mist on the mooncakes and then put them in the middle layer and bake for about three to five minutes. The exact time is not fixed. You can take it out when the surface is slightly hardened and the shape is fixed.
9.
Brush the egg yolk (remind that the yolk of the moon cake is to use one egg yolk plus one-fourth of the egg white and 15 grams of water), put the brushed moon cake in the oven and continue to bake for 10 to 15 minutes. The time is not exact, you can observe the surface of the moon cake Don’t burn it, the mooncake will always feel a little soft during the baking process, it’s okay, it will gradually harden after being taken out and let cool, and individual shapes may be deformed. Carefully pinch and fix it with your hands before taking it out of the cold. Just correct the shape, be careful not to get burned
10.
After the mooncakes are completely cold and solidified, the mooncakes will harden. Put the chocolate pens in a pot of boiling water for a while, take them out and draw the eyes, nose and mouth of the bear on each mooncake while it is hot. Note that the chocolate pens will be cold quickly. It will solidify and squeeze out when it is cold. You can screw on the lid and put it in a hot water pot and blanch it before use.
11.
You can’t eat the finished moon cake right away. You can eat it after being left for three or four days after returning to the oil. The surface of the bear is much better after returning to the oil

Tips:
1. Cocoa powder can be increased or decreased according to the color situation by yourself
2. The skin should be as thin as possible. Too much skin will easily collapse. If the filling is too soft to pack, the filling can be placed in the freezer layer of the refrigerator and then wrapped. Each stuffing I pack is 29 grams, and the skin is 21 grams
3. Be careful not to pinch the bear's ears too big, they will fall down easily when they are baked. The ears are best placed directly above the sphere, so that they will not fall down and deform during baking.
4. Pay attention to the baking time of mooncakes by yourself and adjust them appropriately according to the step chart.
5. The chocolate pen must be soaked in a pot of boiling water for a while to draw, and you can put it in the pot of boiling water when it is cold
