1. Pour the inverted syrup, peanut oil, sesame oil and soap into a basin and mix well.
2. First add 2/3 of the low-gluten flour, mix until the surface is smooth and delicate, and relax for 1 hour.
3. Add the remaining 1/3 of the low-gluten flour, mix into a soft and hard dough, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. Divide 3 into 10 equal parts, mix the jujube paste stuffing with cooked walnuts and divide into 10 equal parts.
5. Flatten the dough and wrap it in the filling.
6. Sprinkle a little flour in the mold and press 5 into it.
7. Put the filled raw embryo into the mold, flatten it by hand, and tap it out gently.
8. Place it in a baking tray, spray a small amount of water, and bake for about 10 minutes at 240°C and 180°C. After the surface is colored, take it out.
9. Brush the surface with egg yolk twice. Bake for about 10 minutes until the surface is golden.
Tips:Invert syrup should use special syrup for moon cakes, and the storage time should be more than 2 weeks.
The flour should not be too strong.
Walnut kernels can also be replaced with other nuts, which must be roasted and chopped in advance, and the particles should not be too large.
The oil is stirred with alkaline water first, which can weaken the oiliness of the oil and is easier to fuse with other materials.
Don't add the flour all at once to avoid the dough being too hard and the storage time of the dough will be shortened.
When filling the stuffing, the thickness of the mooncake crust must be even, and when pressed into the mold, it must be flattened so that the surface pattern is clear.
When placing it in the bakeware, the distance should be controlled properly. Do not sprinkle too much flour in the mold, and do not spray too much water when baking.
When brushing the egg liquid, don't have too much egg liquid on the brush. The hand force of the egg liquid should be light, and the egg liquid should be evenly brushed. You can brush it once more, and the bake brightness will be better.
Don't bake for too long, so as not to burst the mooncake skin.
