The practice of handmade moon cakes

Making moon cakes is an experience. I wrote ten articles about the experience of making moon cakes for the first time! When making moon cakes again this year, I feel that there is no experience summary to write, which shows that the success rate is high. The reason for writing experience summary is that there are many failures, and the reason for each failure is summary.

Cooking tips

It is better to wrap the moon cake skin and stuffing in a ratio of 3:7, but it is difficult to wrap it in a ratio of 2:8, especially when there is egg yolk stuffing.

When you press the moon cake skin, it will stick to your hand. Applying some flour to your hands in advance can prevent this problem, but only a thin layer can be applied.

When baking moon cakes, first shape their patterns with high temperature, and then color them with low temperature. If high temperature is used all the time, moon cakes will crack easily.

Don't refrigerate the moon cake skin for too long after it is made, otherwise it will crack easily when baking.

When choosing the flower pieces of moon cakes, the more patterns pressed by flowers, the more delicate the skin of moon cakes looks.

The moon cake is soft when it comes out of the oven. Don't hold it at this time, or it will be easily deformed. When it is completely cooled, it will harden and take off easily.

Don't stir the dough when making the crust, so as to avoid the gluten of flour, so that the crust of moon cakes will not be particularly soft.

When making mooncake stuffing with egg yolk, we must choose the quality of egg yolk. Baked yolk should be soft but not hard, otherwise it is not easy to wrap the filling tightly, and it will stand on the ground when pressed into the mold, which is easy to pierce the cake skin.

When brushing egg yolk liquid, brush it gently, just once, not repeatedly.

When pressing the cake blank, put a layer of plastic wrap between the palm of your hand and the cake blank to prevent the cake blank from touching your hand.
