Snowy Mooncake
1.
I bought snowy moon cake powder online. The usage is very simple. It is much more convenient than the traditional one that is mixed, oiled and steamed.
2.
The natural fruit and vegetable powder or matcha powder from Uji, Japan, is much safer than adding coloring.
3.
The prepared bean paste filling is from Lianxianglou, so it is more convenient and easy to store for novices to buy ready-made fillings.
4.
Pour snowy mooncake powder into a stainless steel pot.
5.
For a better color and different taste, I also added matcha powder, cocoa powder or other natural fruit powder and vegetable powder.
6.
Add 40 grams of boiling water and stir evenly with chopsticks while pouring the water.
7.
Knead into a uniformly colored dough for later use.
8.
Divide into several small balls according to the ratio of 25 grams of outer skin and 25 grams of filling. This recipe can make 8 50 grams of snowy moon cakes.
9.
I have prepared dough in various colors.
10.
Prepare some ice skin powder as loose powder.
11.
Dip some hand powder on your hand, take a shell ball and press it into a disc, and then take a filling ball and place it on the shell disc.
12.
Slowly wrap the filling with the outer skin facing inward. Pay attention to the light technique when wrapping, so that the filling should not leak out. You can also dip some hand powder during the wrapping process to make it easier to wrap. Squeeze it tightly when closing the mouth.
13.
Roll round again.
14.
Dip some hand powder on the ball and gently put it into the mold and press it. The jelly mold I used here, you can also directly use the push-type moon cake mold, which is easier to operate.
15.
Then buckle the mold upside down, tap it on the table a few times, and a finished moon cake will come out.
16.
After the snowy mooncakes are made, if you want to give them away, you can buy a special mooncake packaging box and put them in the refrigerator for a few hours. If you need to keep it for a longer time, you can also put it in the freezer to freeze it, and just thaw it naturally when you eat it! But remember that the storage time of snowy mooncakes should not be too long, the best within three to five days! ! !
