Tips:

1. The ratio I made is 2:8, that is, 75 grams of a moon cake, 15 grams of crust, 60 grams of filling + egg yolk, but it is difficult to operate, 3: 7 will be easier
2. Corn oil can also be changed to peanut oil
3. Moon cake pre-mixed powder is good-run and easy-to-bake, no need to add liquid water by yourself to improve the success rate, and the oil will be returned the next day;
Liquid soap mainly affects the coloring of moon cakes and the speed of oil return. Adding liquid soap by yourself, you need to pay more attention to the concentration and dosage of liquid soap.
4. The salted egg yolk used in this recipe is freshly peeled, no need to soak in oil
5. The egg yolk film must be taken out when making egg yolk liquid, and a very thin layer must be brushed when brushing moon cakes.
6. Moon cakes cannot be moved just after they are baked, they will be easily deformed, and they can only be moved after the cake crust becomes hard after it is completely cooled.
7, 75 grams of moon cakes are suitable for salted egg yolks under 15 grams
8. This square cake can make 26 moon cakes with a ratio of 2:8
