The Return of Martha Stewart-- Moon Cakes!

Happy Full Moon Festival! Doublechin invited me to join a moon cake bakery class with her. Making moon cakes is a bit like playing with toy clay. hehe... We signed up for the Peninsula Hotel style mini egg custard moon cake class instead of the traditional lotus paste moon cake.

Ingredients:
Butter 50g
Sugar Powder 30g
Eggs 12g
Flour 72g
Milk Powder 12g
Baking Powder 8g
Vanilla oil 1g
Salty egg yolk 4
Egg custard filling 200g

Step 1:
mix butter, sugar powder, vanilla oil.

Step 2:
Add flour, milk powder, baking powder, and mix.

Step 3:
Separate egg custard filling into 8 pieces and add half an salty egg yolk into each of them.

Step 4:
Separate dough into 8 pieces. Slightly flour each dough. Fold dough to enclose fillings. Then shape.



Step 5: brush egg on the top surface of moon cake.



Step 6: Bake with 220C upper, 130C lower temperate (or 200C overall temperature) for 15mins.




Tada~


The hardest part was to enclose the filling with the dough. Needa squeeze all air out, not to break the dough, and size it perfectly to enclose the filling. With years of toy clay practice, I made it! It's yummy!!! Well, it's hard not to taste good when all ingredients were given to you in one pot. No measurement required! hehe...

Happy moon cake eating! =)
