Non-cantonese-homemade Crispy Mooncakes
1.
Making Kidney Bean Cashew Nut Filling: Soak white kidney beans for at least 8 hours
2.
I soaked for a day and a night
3.
Some are not peeling enough at 8 hours
4.
It is easy to peel after fully soaking
5.
Add water to the pressure cooker, surpass the kidney beans, and press for 30 minutes. Later, I did it again, and I felt that the water would be no more than the beans.
6.
During this period, you can fry the flour, do not add oil in the wok, and fry on low heat.
7.
The kidney beans looked pretty watery when the pot was uncovered
8.
Add sugar and boil
9.
Boil the water over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spoon in the meantime
10.
It starts to thicken after ten minutes. If the amount of water is added, it can be boiled to this level in a few minutes.
11.
Add the edible oil several times, each time the oil and the bean paste are fully integrated
12.
When the bean paste is obviously formed, turn off the heat and add cooked flour
13.
After stirring, the bean paste is very firm
14.
Sheng out
15.
Let cool and divide into small groups, break the cashews into small pieces
16.
Rub in the cashews
17.
Making pie crust: beat the egg into liquid, take half, add sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves
18.
Add oil and baking soda and stir well
19.
Finally stir in the flour
20.
Just use chopsticks to stir slightly until there is no dry powder
21.
Place the live noodles in the refrigerator or relax at room temperature for 2 hours, or wrap them directly
22.
Then take it out and divide it into small groups
23.
Take one in your hand and press it into a disc
24.
Put on the filling
25.
Slowly push up the crust
26.
seal
27.
Put the rounded "ball" into the mold
28.
Flatten with your fingers
29.
Turn it upside down, use a little bit of force, and press it on the baking tray
30.
Demold
31.
Preheat the oven at 210 degrees, the lighter color is the mooncake with butter crust made at the same time
32.
Also bake at this temperature for 5 minutes, take out and brush with a thin layer of egg mixture
33.
Re-enter the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes
34.
Out of the oven, cool in the sun
35.
The mold I used was 75 grams in size, and the cake base was not too full, so I made 5 of them.
36.
It’s easier to paint if the fire is higher, but it will also be slightly cracked
37.
The sweetness of the kidney bean filling is appropriate, and the cashew nuts are a bit wasteful, and they can’t taste the original flavor. If you don't want to be monotonous, just get some peanut kernels with relatively low cost.
38.
The mooncakes were harder when they were first baked, but they tasted crispy, and they still taste the same after two days.
Tips:
The Revitalizing Techniques of Edible Oil Cake Crust
1. Be careful not to superimpose and repeatedly knead the dough like pancakes and bread. In that case, the added oil will be squeezed out, and the dough will be like okara, so you can't pack it at all. The first time I made it, I planted it at this stage. I had to use thick noodles to barely wrap the filling. The baked mooncakes were thick and cracked.
2. If you are worried that the added small soda will not mix well, you can put it in the egg liquid first.
3. The amount of noodles should be controlled well. If the dough is too dry, it will be difficult to pack.
