Tips:
I have always made my own baking from raw materials to finished products, but this time I bought the black sesame seeds for the black sesame mooncakes, because I fried the jujube mud to make the jujube mud mooncakes. The jujube skin inside is particularly obvious. I don’t have a wall breaking machine. I bought the filling for the second black sesame seeds. However, with some roasted black sesame seeds, it tastes richer, and because there are black sesame seeds, it feels more granular as you chew. Mooncakes are high-oil pastries. Although it is Mid-Autumn Festival, it should not be too much. Just eat one or two
