How to make signature mooncakes

For many female friends, they are very envious when they see others have good cooking skills. Today, just follow the editor to learn how to make signature mooncakes, and your cooking skills will definitely improve! Let’s get started together with the editor below!

1. Dissolve baking soda in clean water to make soap water

2.12 Mix the soap water, syrup and peanut oil evenly without any floating oil on the surface.

3.21 Sift the flour into the mixed sugar and oil, mix gently and evenly, knead into a soft dough (as soft as an earlobe)

4.1 Roll the filling into small balls and cover with plastic wrap. Put them in the refrigerator for ten minutes to make them harder and easier to wrap.

5.2 Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours. (Do not refrigerate)

6. Divide the mooncake skin into 15g/piece and roll into balls

7. Wrap the filling and roll into a ball like making glutinous rice balls. (You can also divide each mooncake skin into two halves, cover them one on top of the other, and then seal the seam.) This is a moment that tests your patience. If you stay calm and do it, you will definitely succeed.

8.1 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Use a small spray bottle to spray a little water on the mooncakes. If not, you can also dip your finger in water and flick it on the surface. Bake in the middle of the oven for 3-5 minutes, then remove and let cool

9.2 Sprinkle flour on the surface of the mooncake ball and place it in the extrusion mooncake mold to shape. At this time, you must pay attention to the coordination of both hands. When squeezing, do not loosen the hand pressing on the bottom of the mold, otherwise it will be squeezed out from the edge. It is recommended to try it with scrap dough first before getting started.

10. Beat the egg yolk and egg white, and brush them gently on the surface of the cooled mooncakes with a brush. Don't be greedy, just dip a little and brush a little, otherwise the excess egg liquid will accumulate on the mooncakes and the pattern will not be obvious.

We all know that doing something well requires a lot of effort and time. Of course, it is the same with cooking, but your efforts will definitely be rewarded. When you cook delicious dishes, you will be able to impress others. Now, based on the introduction above, let’s make our signature mooncakes.
