Tips:
1. You can put half of the egg yolk and increase the amount of lotus paste.
2. Oil return is the biggest feature of Cantonese-style mooncakes. The freshly baked crust is hard, and it will become oily and soft after being placed for 2 or 3 days. It will merge with the fillings to produce an integrated taste of the crust and filling.
3. After the baked mooncakes are completely cooled, they should be sealed and packaged. Don't refrigerate the Cantonese mooncakes. Wait 1-2 days for the oil to return before eating. They can be stored for 1-2 weeks, so the whole process should be hygienic.
