The refined moon cake is a kind of traditional moon cake in old Beijing. Its appearance is similar to Cantonese-style mooncakes, and the syrup of the refined mooncakes is different from the inverted syrup of Cantonese-style mooncakes. It does not need to add acid when boiling, and the syrup basically does not contain invert sugar. In the past, because the degree of refined sugar was not high, it was necessary to add a small amount of egg white to the syrup when boiling the syrup, and at the same time remove the floating matter on the surface of the syrup to achieve the purpose of removing impurities. This step is called "liquid extraction", hence the name of the slurry-liquid moon cake. But now the sugar we use is refined white granulated sugar, so this step can be omitted.

Tips:

1. The oven has different temperatures, so the time and temperature are for reference only.
2. The remaining syrup (I have surplus syrup) can be placed in an airtight jar and can be stored for a long time at room temperature.
3. The amount of water absorption is different for different flours, and the amount of syrup required may be different. If your dough comes out very hard, you can add more syrup to make the dough soft. Be careful not to add water to the dough.
4. There are green and red silk in the traditional filling, but I don't have green and red silk, so I added cranberries according to my preference.
5. The shelf life of mooncakes is very long. They will not deteriorate in one or two months at room temperature. You can make more of them at a time and eat slowly.
