Universal Cantonese-style Mooncake Crust (made with Pineapple Mooncake)
1.
Pour the soap, peanut oil, and invert syrup in the recipe into a basin.
2.
Stir evenly with a manual whisk
3.
Add another egg yolk and mix well.
4.
Pour the medium powder in the recipe
5.
Use a spatula or hand to knead the flour into a dough. It is enough if there is no dry powder. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for more than 2 hours.
6.
Weigh out 45 grams from the kneaded dough, add 2 grams of matcha powder, and use a spatula to knead the dough into a matcha dough
7.
Letβs weigh the fillings during the soaking process. I used winter melon wings and pineapple fruit fillings!
8.
When the dough wakes up, we start to wrap the filling. This time I use 18 grams for the crust and 32 grams for the filling. There are about 22-23 moon cakes. The wrapped moon cake balls are kneaded into an oval shape by hand and squashed a little. , Probably can be completely put into the moon cake mold.
9.
Then put the mold into the cooked glutinous rice flour and press to clean the dry powder. Take out 2 grams of matcha cake crust, put it into the leaf part of the mold, and press it. If there is extra matcha cake crust around, you can use a toothpick to remove it. Just come out to be beautiful, fooling around, is a waste of such a cute mold! You said yes π
10.
Then gently put the mooncake ball into the mold, don't touch the side, or the mooncake ball will be injured, and the injury will not look good π
11.
Take the mooncake that is not demoulded, hold the palm of your opposing hand, press it to balance the bottom, then put it in the baking tray, press it gently twice to demould it.
12.
See if the lines are very clear
13.
Preheat the oven in advance, and the actual temperature reaches 180 degrees. Use a sprayer to decorate the finished mooncake with pure water and put aside the 15cm height of the mooncake, spray it, don't spray it at the mooncake! Then put it in the oven and bake for 5.6 minutes to set
14.
Open an egg, leave a small half of the egg whites, add a few drops of water, mix well with the yolk, and sieve for later use! (The water must not be too much, just a small drop or two is enough, otherwise the mooncakes will not be shiny)
15.
Take out the shaped moon cakes. Do not brush the egg liquid on the pineapple leaves. Use a brush that has stuck to the egg liquid to brush a thin layer from the periphery of the moon cake. This can avoid excessive egg liquid and unsightly brushing. If there are too many, you can clean it up in time and brush the pattern in the middle. The video shot is not perfect, because holding the phone in one hand, the phone is too big and it canβt be held securely, so I canβt blame me π, the person who designed the phone, think Is not perfect π
16.
Brush the egg mixture, put the mooncakes in the oven, and bake at 180 degrees for 13 minutes. The temperature is different for each oven according to your own oven.
17.
The mooncakes that have been baked for 13 minutes are almost all colored, then take them out and brush with a layer of egg mixture. This time you can brush them with the pineapple leaves. Put the mooncakes with the egg mixture twice and bake them in the oven 2- It takes 3 minutes. Don't bake it for a long time, it won't look good if you bake the egg mixture over old heat. Remember that when brushing the egg liquid twice, the entire surface of the mooncake is brushed once. This is to make the mooncakes look good and shiny. The leaf part can also avoid brushing the egg liquid too yellow, because I tried the leaves without brushing the egg liquid, the color is good, but there is no luster, it always feels like the soul is gone! I also tried to brush the egg liquid in the early stage and cover the leaves with tin foil, but it still doesn't look good!
18.
Take out the baked mooncakes, let them cool, and move them to the baking net. It's cool, and it's time to pack!
19.
Let it cool, golden yellow and shiny, cute π
20.
Take a look, this is the effect after it has just been baked and let cool. It is very shiny without returning the oil!
21.
The beauty is stuck π
22.
This is the effect of thin skin and full filling. If you don't like to eat thin skin, you can change it to 20 grams of skin and 30 filling. You can adjust this yourself.
23.

Tips:
The characteristic of this cake crust is that it has egg yolk, which is more fragrant. Think about it, we usually make chiffon cakes and egg biscuits by ourselves. Almost all the most common eggs, milk, bake them and they are delicious. In fact, the moon cake crust is also the same. If possible, you can also add 10-15 grams of full-time milk powder! But I didn't add it, I'm afraid of getting fat π! Be sure to hand in homework
