Steps to make moon cakes at home

The simple steps of making moon cakes at home are as follows:

1. Prepare a clean bowl, pour 70g of invert syrup, 25g of corn oil and 2g of scooped water into the bowl, and stir well. Pour in 120g ordinary flour, stir it with chopsticks to make it flocculent, knead the dough, knead it into smooth dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and wake it for about an hour.

2. After one hour, divide the proofed dough into about 25g for later use.

3, the bean paste stuffing is also divided into 25 grams, set aside.

4. Take a dough, roll it into a thin skin shape, add the bean paste stuffing, tighten it with a tiger's mouth, put it into a mold, and press it to form. Put the pressed moon cake dough in the oven, preheat it at 200 for five minutes, then change it to 180 after five minutes, bake it for about five minutes, and take it out.

5. Brush a layer of egg yolk water on the surface of the moon cake, continue to put it in the oven, bake for about 15 minutes, take it out and put it in a sealed bag for about 15 minutes, and return the oil.
