How to make Cantonese-style plain mooncakes

Everyone pursues a life of having food and clothing provided for them, but the reality is not so good. So if you live in reality, you will inevitably need to cook by yourself. In order to cook a dish well, you must have perfect methods and steps. So, follow me and learn how to make Cantonese-style plain mooncakes.

1. This is the ready-made five-nut filling I bought.

2. Mix the crust ingredients and knead them into a dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 1 hour (I can’t find the photo of the ingredients, please forgive me).

3. Divide the filling into 70g/piece, this is the five-nut filling.

4. Others use egg yolks to make the heart, but I use this - candied dates.

5. The white filling is large mung beans, wrap the candied dates in it.

6. Put the filling in a plastic bag and it will easily form into a round shape.

7. Ten balls.

8. Roll the dough into 10 small balls, each weighing about 25g. Start wrapping them. You need to use both hands, as the picture cannot capture them. The difference in the amount of dough is large, but it is still easy to wrap. Put some powder on your hands to prevent sticking, and push the dough up little by little, making sure the force is even.

9. It’s wrapped, but not too evenly, hehe.

10. Press it with a mold. My mold is 125g, so the mooncake is a little thin. It is best to use a 100g mold.

11. After baking, let it cool, seal it and eat it after the oil is absorbed.

12. This roast is quite satisfactory.

13. This is also okay. Don’t apply too much egg liquid. If it is too thick, the pattern will be filled and the appearance will be affected.

14. Look at my Su Xin, it’s still pretty good.

15. These are seedless candied dates.

16. The five-nut one is so sweet! Experiments have proved that the stuffing you make yourself is definitely the most delicious.
