Teach you several different methods for making mooncakes

Must read

Making mooncakes is a traditional Mid-Autumn Festival custom, and different flavored mooncakes each have their unique characteristics. Below are the specific steps for making three types of mooncakes:

### Lotus Seed Paste with Salty Egg Yolk Mooncake First, prepare the mooncake skin by mixing syrup, lye water, and peanut oil evenly, then add all-purpose flour and knead into a smooth dough, letting it rest for two hours. During this time, the duck egg yolks can be baked at 180 degrees for 5 minutes and set aside. Divide the dough into small pieces, rolling each into a ball of 20 grams; the lotus seed paste paired with the baked egg yolks totals 30 grams, and the filling is also portioned. Flatten the dough skin, wrap in the filling, seal it using a “tiger mouth” technique, and roll it in dry flour before shaping it with a mold. Initially bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 5 minutes to set, then remove and brush a thin layer of egg wash on top before returning to the oven at 165 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes until done.

### Cantonese Mooncake To make Cantonese mooncakes, first prepare the skin ingredients, including syrup, peanut oil, lye water, and low-gluten flour; mix them well, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour. The filling can be lotus seed paste, red bean paste, etc. Here, lotus seed paste is wrapped around a few pieces of preserved plum meat to enhance the flavor, with each portion of filling being 30 grams, paired with 80 grams of dough for wrapping. After dusting the surface with flour, shape with a mold. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes until the surface of the mooncake is golden.

### Homemade Rose Cloud Ham Mooncake The homemade rose cloud ham mooncake has a rich dough ingredient list, including flour, baking powder, white sugar, crushed rose petals, salt, eggs, water, butter, salad oil, and honey. These ingredients are mixed in proportion to make the dough. As for the filling, use shredded cooked cloud ham, crushed walnuts, and crushed peanuts, creating a fragrant combination with a hint of rose. By carefully balancing the ratio of dough to filling, and adjusting the baking time and temperature according to the size of the mooncake, you can enjoy this unique delicacy.

The above summarizes the homemade methods for three types of mooncakes, each carrying different flavors and emotions, suitable for making together with family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoying the fun of traditional festivities.
