Snowskin Mooncake

Made my first snow skin mooncakes finally! My friend CT told me that it's very easy to do as her twins are making the mooncakes to raise funds for their Chiangmai trip. I decided to have a go at making the mooncakes. So I googled for the recipe and found this recipe on one of the food blogs(she bakes and she cooks). I tweaked the recipe a little--added less sugar and more water.

Snowskin Mooncakes

Ingredients
115 Hong Kong Flour (steam for 15 mintues, leave to cool)
115 koufen
100g icing sugar (can reduce to 80g)
4 Tbsp shortening
7 Tbsp cold water
1/2 tsp pandan paste
2 Tbsp Hong Kong Flour (mixed with 2 Tbsp hot water to form hot dough)

Fillings
1.5 kg white lotus paste
100g melon seeds (baked)
salted egg yolks (steamed)

Method
Sieve Hong Kong flour, koufen and icing sugar. Mix pandan essence with the cold water. Make a well in the centre, add shortening, pandan paste, water and hot dough, and knead until smooth. Roll the dough and wrap lotus paste, melon seeds & egg yol. Press into moon cake mould.
Knock mooncake out from mould and serve. Refrigerate if kept overnight.
