First make the water and oily skin: 200g all-purpose flour, 30g sugar, 100g water, 30g lard, all pour together and mix well to form a dough
3.
Divide the dough into 35 portions, then cover with plastic wrap and relax for half an hour (each portion is about 10g)
4.
Shortbread: 200g all-purpose flour and 100g lard, mix together and knead well
5.
Divide the shortbread into equal parts with the water and oily skin (35 parts, each about 8g)
6.

Then wrap it up and close it down

19.
Turn over the mung bean cake, put on the upper layer, and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes
Tips:
1. Since my oven is 65L, I made more of it this time, which is 35 mung bean cakes. The oven at home is relatively small, so the serving can be halved.
2. Lard can be bought online or fried with pork suet
3. If you don’t like lard, you can change to vegetable oil
4. If you want to change it to vegetable oil and want to make the skin crisp, you need to change it when you make the shortbread, 160g all-purpose flour, 40g cornstarch, and 100g vegetable oil
5. Mung bean filling can be made by yourself or bought ready-made
6. The authentic mung bean filling has no mung bean skin. It is recommended to buy peeled mung bean for filling
7. If you think this method of making meringue is more troublesome, you can choose a simpler method online
8. The method of learning to make meringue can be applied to a variety of shortbread, including Soviet-style moon cakes.
9. It is recommended to cover the finished pastry dough with a fresh-keeping bag to prevent cracking
