Various recipes for moon cake skin

The main raw materials of moon cake skin: flour, eggs, sugar, food additives, various fillings and additives.

Method of making large package pastry with pastry crust: 5 kg of materials, making 12 moon cakes per kg. First, mix the leather into dough. Leather dough 1.6 kg, pastry dough 0.775 kg. Wrap the dough bag and press it into thin skin (0.67 cm) with a rolling pin. Roll it into a round strip, cut it into 10 pieces with a knife, then fold both ends of the billet inward along the incision, flatten it into a pancake shape with the palm of your hand, and wrap the filling.
