3. A total of 40g of lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk are wrapped in lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk to form balls.

4. 40g of bean paste and salted egg yolk wrapped in bean paste to form balls of salted egg yolk.

5. Squeeze 35g of custard filling into 5g of flowing filling with a piping bag and refrigerate for one hour to make it easier to shape the package.

11. Place the mooncake mold under moderate pressure and hold for ten seconds before demolding.

Preheat the mooncake with a thin layer of water at 180 degrees Celsius. After preheating, bake the middle layer over high heat at 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes to set.

13. Remove and open the oven door to cool down. Brush a thin layer of egg yolk liquid on the surface of the mooncake (egg yolk liquid: a mixture of egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Note: silicone brush is not easy to brush evenly. It is recommended to use a brush) at 165 degrees Celsius and bake for 5 minutes. Then remove and brush another layer of egg yolk liquid. Bake at 165 degrees for 5-10 minutes until the color is moderate.
