Tips: 1: The filling can be according to personal preference, such as lotus paste, red bean paste, or custard sauce. 2: The temperature of the oven depends on each person's oven, my oven temperature is too high. 3: When sticking cocoa dough, you can stick some water to prevent ears from falling off. 4: Both eyes must be thin, otherwise the eyes are too protruding to look good. 5 If the oven has no fermentation capability, you can put two bowls of boiling hot water underneath, and then exchange the heat after it has cooled.
