Tips:
1. Zilaihong belongs to the hard meringue moon cakes. It looks tough, but it tastes very soft. The difference between it and other mooncake crusts is that the hard pastry dough must be kneaded thoroughly. Although it does not need to be kneaded to the expansion stage at least like making bread, it must be kneaded to be very gluten and elastic. So, when making this moon cake. Please be sure to put more effort and knead the dough more, so that the hard meringue will be more crispy and delicious.
2. To make hard meringues, there is traditionally a process called "pressing", which is to put the kneaded dough in a noodle machine, press it into thin slices, and repeat it several times. It can make the dough more uniform, more flexible, more coherent between the tissues, and make high-quality products. Because the family does not have an industrialized noodle press and the weight of the dough is small, the dough is folded 3-4 times in four to replace the pressing, which is also one of the keys to making a good hard meringue.
3. Corn oil can also be replaced with sesame oil or soybean oil.
