This recipe can make 9 moon cakes of 75 grams. I like mooncakes that are not too big or small 😍.
I think some classmates like to fry the fillings by themselves. But she didn't fry well, reduced the oil and sugar indiscriminately, and there was a lot of water and was very wet.
The filling of moon cakes is an important part of moon cakes, and there are strict standards! You are not afraid that your mooncakes will burst, collapse, return oil slowly, and have a short shelf life. Then you can fry them!
It is recommended to choose mooncake fillings from big brands such as Shunnan or Guangzhou Restaurant, as the quality is guaranteed!
And be sure to use peanut oil! Can invert syrup be used as much as possible 😬!

☞ After cooling down completely, return to the oil at room temperature, and finish eating within one week!

Look at the tips before doing it! If you have any questions, you can private me: Wechat yuka110337
Anything else you didn't expect, everyone can remind me!

☞The important thing is to say three times: The materials you use are different from mine. Learn to adjust the dry humidity of the dough yourself. Add some flour when it gets wet, add some syrup when it's dry, flexible ^O^

☞About the oil return: Now the weather temperature has dropped a bit, and it will take a little longer to return the oil, about one to two days, don't worry, dears! The oil return is related to the temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster the oil return speed. When the temperature is low, the oil return speed will also slow down.

Ingredients

Cantonese Classic-moon Cakes with White Lotus Paste and Egg Yolk

1. The material I used. Peanut oil is a trial pack of Orchid Flowers won in the Tmall lottery! (Just make me moon cakes)

The proportion of skin filling, I have written here:

Skin filling 3:7 points → 100g moon cake: 30 grams of skin and 70 grams of filling (😊Egg yolk is also part of the filling.)

75 grams of moon cakes: 22.5 grams of skin and 52.5 grams of filling

50 grams of moon cakes: 15 grams of skin, 35 grams of filling

Skin filling 4: 6 points → 100g moon cake: 40 grams of skin, 60 grams of filling

75g moon cake: 30g skin, 45g filling

50g moon cake: 20g skin, 30g filling

😊😊 Novices recommend a 4:6 ratio! (There is too little skin for beginners, so it's easy to cover it.)

2. Tools are cleaned, wiped or dried. Moisture is not recommended!

3. Put the invert syrup, peanut oil and liquid soap in the egg beater and stir well with a manual whisk! Then pour the flour in. (The flour does not need to be sifted). Stir evenly with a silicone knife. (The hand can also help to mix at the end) Do not have dry powder in the dough.
After mixing and forming a dough, cover with plastic wrap and relax at room temperature for about 2 and a half hours. →Do not exceed three hours!

4. Use fresh salted egg yolk directly.
The vacuum-frozen salted egg yolk is thawed ahead of time, soaked in corn oil for one night before use!

5. Before the salted egg yolk is roasted, spray with white wine to get rid of it. If you don't have a watering can, pour some white wine in a bowl, put the salted egg yolk in it, roll it, and then take it out!
Bake the middle and lower layers of the oven at 180 degrees for 8 minutes without preheating.

6. After the salted egg yolk has cooled, wrap it with white lotus paste. White lotus seed paste is 38 grams per dose, and the weight of salted egg yolk is generally about 13 grams.
It's another important step. The packing method is exquisite. Push the bag slowly upward with the mouth of the tiger. The white lotus paste must be close to the salted egg yolk bag without any gaps. Because this is directly related to the smoothness of the subsequent mooncake skin bags!
The photo of this step is at the back-refer to the last method of stuffing!

7. After the mooncake crust is relaxed, divide it into 24 grams each and make rounds. Generally, the ratio of mooncake crust filling is 3:7—the crust is 3 and the filling is 7
If you really can’t pack it in, then skin 4 and stuff 6
75 grams of mold skin should be 22.5 grams, I added a bit.

8. At the beginning of the mooncake wrapper, the filling was also slowly pushed upward with the tiger’s mouth. Be careful not to have any gaps in such a tight package. ☞Cover the cling film!

9. Sprinkle cornstarch in the mold. ☞After the cornstarch is sprinkled, knock on the mold, knock out the excess, don't put too much powder in it.
I pressed it directly on the baking sheet, saving the movement and deformation. All press down and spray some water mist.
I didn’t press the first one and the second one. I have to hold on for ten seconds. 😊
Meimei photos can only be taken with other patterns!

10. Preheat the oven at 190 degrees for 15 minutes, and bake the middle and lower layers for 6 minutes, take out and brush with egg yolk water, and then send them in and bake for 13 minutes. (Specifically, you have to follow your own oven temperament)

After an hour of baking, it will turn into this color! It's two o'clock in the morning, and I baked it around 12.30 in the morning!

11. Real shots under natural light the next morning. I did this recipe twice yesterday, and the stability is not bad 😄

12. After half a day, the oil returned and became soft 😄 is already delicious! ☞The hotter the weather, the faster the oil return of moon cakes! Oil return and formula are also related!

13. I still eat moon cakes today-the third day

Tips:

1: The mold should be cleaned and dried in advance. The skin will be sticky if there is water.
2: Try to buy salted egg yolk as fresh as possible. If those vacuum-frozen egg yolks are not marinated well, it will be useless if you soak in corn oil. They still have a hard core → unpalatable.
3: This recipe returns to the oil very quickly, and the color changes soon. It is not likely to crack.
4: I hope you use the same materials as me 😊 cover the whole process with plastic wrap.
5: There is another important point, you must wrap all the skins and fillings, and then mold the mooncakes. Wrap the fillings and cover with plastic wrap! When exposed to the air, moisture loss is easy to crack!
