Today, let’s make a must-have delicacy for the moon-viewing season – Snow Skin Mooncakes. With Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, switch up the taste and try these traditional yet innovative Snow Skin Mooncakes. With its unique texture, moderate sweetness, and appealing appearance, it will definitely become the highlight on the dining table.
The ingredients for making Snow Skin Mooncakes include: 75g glutinous rice flour, 75g sticky rice flour, 50g cornstarch, 35g corn oil, 350ml milk, and 45g sugar. First, mix these three types of flour thoroughly to ensure no lumps, then slowly add in milk, corn oil, and sugar while stirring, until all the ingredients are evenly blended.
Next, heat the batter using a double-boiling method. Heat water in a pot, place the mixed Snow Skin material bowl in it, maintain the water temperature at around 40 degrees, cover with a lid and seal the bowl with heat-resistant plastic wrap, steam for 20 minutes. The steamed batter will be creamy white in color and have a smooth texture like lard.
When the batter cools slightly to a touchable temperature, take it out and knead it into a smooth dough, then chill it in the refrigerator for 2 hours for better shaping. The recommended ratio of Snow Skin to filling is 3:2, which makes it easier to work with and results in a more beautiful finished product. When making the mooncakes, take a small piece of Snow Skin, dust it with a little flour to prevent sticking, flatten it, wrap it with filling, and then use a mold to shape it. And there you have a delicate Snow Skin Mooncake.
This homemade Snow Skin Mooncake is not only delicious but also visually appealing, making it a great choice to share with family during the festival or gift to friends and relatives. Give it a try, adding a touch of warmth and sweetness to this Mid-Autumn Festival.
