I lived in a small town when I was a child, and the moon cakes I ate at that time were very simple. It looked like a Soviet-style moon cake like mine. The difference is that the mooncake is made of rock sugar, while I use powdered sugar. In addition, I used butter. The mooncake is probably made of lard. In fact, I also completely made old-fashioned mooncakes, but if that's the case, no one would eat them. First, I don't like the feeling of the hard rock candy in the mouth. Secondly, lard is fragrant, but it is not as good as the milky flavour and is more acceptable. "

Tips:

2. Powdered sugar can be replaced with soft white sugar. It is not recommended to use honey, because when honey is heated to 80 degrees, its nutritional elements will be greatly reduced
