How to make moon cakes?

Different festivals will bring us different feelings, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. What everyone is looking forward to most is the happiness of holidays, enjoying personal activities with their families, and people who often work can take the opportunity to have a rest, which can greatly relieve their tense nerves. Everyone is looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival and will take the opportunity to make rest arrangements.

However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, what everyone is most looking forward to is moon cakes. Different festivals have their own food representatives. Usually, everyone will buy moon cakes that have been packaged in the market, and few families will make them themselves. So how should they make moon cakes at home?

First of all, you need to prepare materials for making moon cakes, such as flour, vegetable oil, alkaline water, sugar and moon cake stuffing. You can prepare any stuffing you like, as long as you prepare the stuffing according to your own taste. Then the next step is to prepare moon cakes. We need to put syrup, alkaline water, salt and vegetable oil in a container according to a certain proportion and mix them as much as possible. Mix the raw materials thoroughly to dilute the syrup, and then sieve the flour. It is best to sieve the flour several times to reduce the presence of particles in the flour. After fully stirring and mixing with a rubber knife, cover with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for more than four hours to allow the flour to fully ferment.

Prepare the stuffing you like. If you prepare salted egg yolk stuffing, you need to put it in the oven for pre-baking, then take it out and let it shine before it can be wrapped in dough. Evenly flatten the mooncake skin, put the stuffing on it, gently push the mooncake stuffing with one hand, and slowly push the mooncake skin with the other hand, so that the mooncake skin completely wraps the stuffing. When finished, we can put the moon cakes in the mold, which looks like moon cakes, or we can not put them in the mold, depending on our personal choice, and then put them in the oven.
