Beijing-style Pulping Moon Cakes
1.
First boil the syrup. Pour water and white sugar into the pot and stir while heating over medium heat until all the white sugar is dissolved. Add the maltose and continue to stir until it boils. Change to a low heat and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and cool down and serve as a syrup. The syrup made should be light yellow, clear and transparent without impurities. Next, make mincemeat filling. Pour white sugar, walnut kernels and melon seeds into a large bowl. After adding 70 grams of sesame oil, add 1 tablespoon of sweet osmanthus. Pour in cooked flour

Mix all the ingredients by hand, and the mincemeat is made. (Don't pour the cooked flour all at once, and stir while stirring until the filling reaches the proper softness and hardness.) Next, make the mooncake crust. Pour 75 grams of sesame oil into 300 grams of flour and mix well by hand. Pour the syrup. Knead with your hands to form a smooth and delicate dough (don’t pour all the syrup in at once, pour 2/3 first. Add the rest as appropriate according to the actual situation, until the dough reaches the right degree of softness and hardness. And the good The filling is about the same degree of softness and hardness)
3.
Divide the filling and crust dough into small portions. The weight ratio of the filling to the crust is 4:6. For example, to make a 100-gram moon cake, divide the filling into 40 grams and the crust into 60 grams. Please allocate it according to the size of your mooncake mold. Sprinkle some dry flour on the moon cake mold, shake it to make the mold covered with flour, and then pour out the excess flour. This step can prevent the moon cake mold from sticking. Take a pie crust dough and flatten it with the palm of your hand. Put 1 filling on the pie crust. Wrap the filling with the pie crust and slowly push it up until it is completely closed
