Eating mooncakes is not only a custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes themselves also have a delicious taste. Since the raw materials used to make them include flour, eggs, sugar, nuts, etc., they also contain rich nutrients, including starch, protein, fat, etc. They are a delicious food as a side dish or a snack before or after meals. The mooncakes you make at home in an electric oven are safer without having to worry about other food additives. Although a variety of mooncakes are available during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the quality of mass-produced mooncakes is difficult to guarantee. So it is better to do it yourself and make delicious and safe mooncakes that you can enjoy all year round. Ingredients 4 cups flour 3/4 cup egg liquid milk powder step 1 Make mooncake dough. In a bowl, combine flour, milk powder and salt. 2Crack an egg in another bowl, add sugar and beat for 5 minutes. Pour in melted butter and vanilla extract.

Sprinkle with flour. 8Then use a mold to press the flattened round cake into the shape of a mooncake. Then tap it on all four sides and the mooncake will come out. If you don’t have a mooncake mold, try to roll the mooncake into a round shape and use a knife and fork to draw a pattern. 9 Brush a layer of egg liquid on the mooncakes. Place the mooncakes 2.5 cm apart on the baking tray. Then put it in the oven. Precautions You can add any fillings you like.
