In previous years, I used to buy mooncakes and send them to my parents. This year, I have an oven and I want to make them myself for my parents to try. Mooncakes on the market are not only rich in oil and sugar, but also terrifyingly high in preservatives! It is said that some mooncakes have been in good condition for over n years, which is frightening** Let's make it ourselves, healthy and clean! It's actually not difficult.

Steps to make Cantonese style bean paste egg yolk mooncake (50g mold)
![]()
1. Weigh the saccharified syrup, rice water (a ratio of edible alkali to water of 1:3), corn oil (other edible oils and milk powder can be used)![]()
2. Add starch and edible oil to the saccharification slurry in portions and stir evenly![]()
3. Add low powder and formula milk![]()
4. Stir and clump together, do not over stir, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 2 hours![]()
5. I made salted egg yolks one night in advance, and baked them at 180 degrees for 5 minutes. If you see the yolk slightly oily, you can do it![]()
6. Soak in oil after cooling, and the oil must cover the egg yolk![]()
7. When making mooncakes, dry the oil and set aside for later use![]()
8. Prepare bean paste, I made it myself, but you can also buy ready-made ones![]()
9. Weighing, the first time I made it was 5 salted eggs and 5 pure bean paste, so the bean paste balls have different sizes. 30g of pure bean paste, 15g with egg yolk, each egg yolk is about 15g, and 20g of mooncake skin makes exactly 50g of mooncake (150g of bean paste in the ingredients is for 10 egg yolk bean paste mooncakes, you can switch to other fillings, as long as the skin is 20g and the filling is 30g)![]()
10. Flatten the bean paste and wrap it around the egg yolk. Use one hand to hold the egg yolk filling with the tiger's mouth or palm, and the other hand to help wrap the filling. I slowly transform and wrap it upwards![]()
11. Packaged bean paste and egg yolk filling![]()
12. Weigh the mooncake skin properly: 20g![]()
13. Flatten mooncake skin and filling
