Friends who understand snow skin mooncakes may not be many; it is a special snack made with glutinous rice as the base material. After completion, it is refrigerated, not only having a bright and enticing color, but also a cool and delicate taste, providing a wonderful sensory experience.
To make a snow skin mooncake, the required ingredients include: 25 grams of glutinous rice flour, 20 grams of sticky rice flour, 10 grams of wheat starch (also known as wheat flour), 95 grams of milk, 25 grams of powdered sugar, and 10 milliliters of salad oil. This ratio is sufficient to produce 5 mooncakes weighing approximately 50 grams each.
When making it, first pour the milk, powdered sugar, and salad oil into a bowl and stir gently until fully combined. Then, gradually add the glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, and wheat starch while stirring until a smooth batter forms. Next, don’t forget to let the batter “rest,” sifting it and letting it sit for about 30 minutes before steaming in a steamer at high temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. After steaming, the batter needs to undergo another important stirring process to ensure a smooth texture. Once the batter has completely cooled, the snow skin is ready.
For the filling process, divide the snow skin into 35-gram pieces, while preparing 15-gram filling balls. To avoid sticking to your hands, you can sprinkle some cooked glutinous rice flour in your palms. Take a piece of snow skin and place it in your palm, gently flatten it, place a filling ball on top, and carefully wrap the filling with the snow skin, pushing upwards until the filling is completely sealed inside the snow skin, then shape the opening. In this way, a homemade snow skin mooncake is successfully completed.
