How to make Double Yolk Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake

In life, many of us may not know how to cook when we leave our parents and live alone. We have to learn how to cook. We can’t eat takeout every day, and the food outside is not necessarily clean. Below I will introduce to you the method of double yolk lotus seed paste mooncake. After reading this, you must try to make it yourself.

1.Mix syrup and oil, add alkaline water and mix well.

2.12 Add flour and mix well, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 hours. (The dough was very sticky, so I used a spatula to mix it.)

3.21 Soak the salted egg yolks in oil for 10 minutes, bake in the oven at 350F/180C for 5 minutes. (You can also leave it unbaked.)

4.1 Wrap the egg yolk in the middle of the lotus paste, making sure the yolk does not show.

6.2 Divide the lotus paste into 9 portions. (The ratio of filling to skin is 2:8, if you like thick skin, you can increase it to 3:7.)

7. Hold the dough with one hand and use the thumb of the other hand to gently push the dough upwards until it covers the lotus seed paste.

8. Roll the wrapped mooncake skin with a thin layer of flour.

9. Put it into the mooncake mold, flatten it with the palm of your hand, turn the mold upside down and tap it to remove it from the mold. After removing it from the mold, use a soft brush to gently brush off the flour on the surface.

10. Place the mooncakes in a baking tray and put them into a preheated oven at 400F/200C. Bake for 10 minutes. When the surface is slightly colored, take them out and let them cool for 10 minutes. At the same time, adjust the oven temperature to 350F/180C.

11. Brush with a thin layer of egg yolk liquid and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. (If the color is not so good, you can broil on low heat for 3-5 minutes. Each oven is slightly different, so pay attention to the temperature and time.)

12. Let the baked mooncakes cool down and place them in a sealed container for 2-3 days. They are ready to eat after the oil has been absorbed.
