Moon cakes are one of the most prestigious traditional Chinese pastries. Moon cakes symbolize harmony among members of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I made 75 grams of moon cakes, 50 grams of filling, 25 grams of skin (about 10 grams of egg yolk, 40 grams of white lotus paste). Take out the egg yolks in advance and soak them in brown wine for 5 minutes, or pour brown wine into a small watering can and spray 2-3 times. Brown wine is used to remove the fishy smell of the egg yolk. Put the egg yolk in the oven at 150 degrees for 8-10 minutes (be careful not to crack the egg yolk). I made 3 servings. My family made more and less than enough to eat. I cut the egg yolk in half. I prefer lotus seed paste, so that the filling is half an egg yolk with 45 grams of lotus seed paste and 25 grams of skin. Let’s start making mooncakes.
