15. Pay attention when removing the film. It is best to fix the position. Press the film where you want the mooncake to be, because after the film is removed, there is no way to move it. If it is forced to move, it is easy to give the mooncake It is deformed, so be sure to determine the position before removing the film. Heat up to 160°C, lower to 200°C, put in the oven for 8 minutes, first bake the surface of the mooncake until the color is white, then take it out, use a wool brush to paint the egg liquid, the wool brush is more delicate, the brushing effect will be better than the silicone brush Some, when brushing, be careful not to stick too much egg liquid at a time. After the wool brush sticks the egg liquid, it should be on the edge of the bowl. It only needs a little bit each time. If the egg liquid is too much, the egg In the process of brushing, the liquid will be trapped in the pattern, and the surface pattern will be unclear at that time. The egg liquid has to be brushed three times, each time after the last time it dries, brush again until the third time.

Tips:

1. Pay attention when mixing sugar and oil, be sure to mix well, otherwise it will cause the skin to be too sticky.
2. When removing the film, you must first determine the position on the baking tray, and then press the film directly on the position to prevent it from moving after the film is removed, which will easily cause the moon cake to deform.
3. If you want to make homemade fillings, the water content of the fillings should not be too dry. If the water content is too large, it is easy to cause lower waist and cracking during the baking process.
4. When coloring the egg liquid, be sure not to brush too much egg liquid, lest the egg gets stuck in the pattern and the pattern is not clear. When the wool brush sticks to the egg liquid, be sure to place it on the side of the bowl, each time there is only a little egg liquid, and repeat the brush three times, each time after the previous time is completely dry.
