How to make sesame Cantonese mooncakes

Sesame Cantonese mooncake is a very common home-cooked dish. After a busy work day, you can go home and enjoy a dish like this to relax yourself. This dish has high nutritional value, is healthy and nutritious, and is suitable for people of different ages. Moreover, the color of this dish makes it look very appetizing.

1. Prepare the ingredients, including invert sugar syrup, soap water, vegetable oil and flour.

2. Mix invert sugar syrup, vegetable oil and lye water evenly (I won’t tell you how to make invert sugar syrup myself, you can find it on Baidu. I made lye water by mixing edible alkali and water in a ratio of 1:3)

3. Add flour to the mixed invert sugar syrup, mix well, knead into dough, and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

4. Prepare the filling and put it into a container and mix well.

5. Divide the dough into 35g balls and the sesame filling into 40g balls (my mold is 80g and I made 75g balls. The filling should be more than the dough so that the skin will be thinner)

6. Press the dough into a pancake and wrap it with sesame filling. Push it up little by little from the bottom until it is wrapped.

7. Wrap it and press it into the mooncake mold. Press it firmly and put it into the baking tray. Spray some water on the mooncake to prevent it from cracking during baking (sprinkle some cooked flour in the mold to prevent it from sticking. Cooked flour is put into the oven at 150 degrees and bake for 5 minutes. The temperature of each oven is different, so you can control the time by yourself. Don't burn it)

8. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees on the middle layer for about 20 minutes. Take it out and cool it thoroughly. Put it in the refrigerator to recover the oil for more than 12 hours. It can be eaten (the oven temperature is different, so you can control the time yourself. I made it in the evening and ate it at noon the next day)

When you go home, you can also use your free time to make a sesame Cantonese mooncake to reward yourself. Sometimes it is a very good thing to taste your own cooking skills.
