*The moon cakes baked by the above method are flat, or they can be baked like buns: the wrapped moon cakes are closed and rounded with both hands, put in the baking tray and stamped and baked at 170 degrees 30 minutes is enough;
Tips:
1. The lard put in when making the dough should be softened at room temperature, and it does not need to be melted into a liquid state;
2. The kneaded water and oil crust and pastry dough should have the same softness and hardness;
3. I have made more fillings. These doughs only use about half of the meat fillings; and the fillings made according to the recipe are salty and sweet. If you don’t like it, you can reduce or eliminate the sugar and honey;
