Steps to make Wuren Mooncake
- Add 1.50 grams of edible oil to 172 grams of conversion syrup and 4 grams of water.
- 2. Stir the egg beater again to form an emulsion.
- 3. Add 280 grams of low gluten flour or mooncake flour, stir well, and knead into a smooth dough.
- 4. Wrap the noodles in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to improve their plasticity.
- 5. Divide the purple sweet potato paste and five kernel filling into 25g pieces and knead them into balls for later use.
- 6. Flatten the purple sweet potato puree and add the five kernel filling.
- 7. Pinch it into a ball, then rub it into such a round shape and set it aside for later use.
- 8. After waking up, take out the dough and divide it into small pieces of 25g each. Roll them into a round shape and set aside (cover with plastic wrap to prevent the skin from drying out).
- 9. Press the dough into such a thin pancake and put the freshly kneaded filling inside.
- 10. Slowly lift the tiger's mouth upwards like this.
- 11. Then seal and roll into a round ball.
- 12. Sprinkle a little high gluten flour in the mold and pour out the flour. Put the wrapped mooncakes into the mold and use primitive force to press out the pattern (it is best to hold the mold with one hand to prevent it from moving, as the flowers will not form). Before embossing, preheat the oven to 165 degrees in advance.
- 13. Place the pressed mooncakes in a baking tray and do not move them. Spray a little water on the surface and bake in a preheated oven for 8 minutes in the middle layer. Remove and brush with egg mixture and repeat the process in the refrigerator for 8 minutes. Then put them back in the oven and adjust the temperature to 155 degrees Celsius before baking for 15 minutes (the temperature should be determined based on your own oven).
- 14. After baking, take it out and let it cool, then cover it with a larger baking tray to allow the mooncakes to return oil (because newly baked mooncakes are hard after cooling and need to be left to return oil for a day). After returning oil, the mooncakes have a very beautiful color and a moderate soft and hard texture, and can be eaten.
- 15. This is a mooncake that has been stored for a day. The color is very beautiful. You can also make a mooncake with love for your family this Mid Autumn Festival!
