As early as a month ago, I began to receive messages and notes. I was asked to make mooncakes. In the past half a month, almost every day my classmates asked me to make mooncakes. These notes and messages made me start to despise myself - you say you. How can I still not make mooncakes?. Mooncakes in supermarkets have long been on the shelves. If there's something that can turn out a new pattern every year, it's definitely the packaging of moon cakes. Recently, I went to the supermarket. I saw it from the conspicuous pile of moon cake boxes. It was dazzling. But. The content is more and more disappointing. Now the moon cake manufacturers seem to have put all their efforts into packaging. So, a box of beautifully packaged moon cakes. You send them to me. I send them to you. Once the Mid Autumn Festival has passed, they will leave them aside. No one will want to see more - who told you to dry the stuffing? The skin is not fragrant. Besides packaging, what else do you have? It's like the Mid Autumn Festival is coming. Someone should ask you - do you like moon cakes? You answer

Cooking Steps
Step1:Jianshui is a kind of alkaline aqueous solution with complex composition. If you can't buy it, you can mix the edible alkali noodles and water in the proportion of 1-3 to replace it (for example, 10 grams of alkali noodles mixed with 30 grams of water can be made into 40 grams of Jian water). Add water to the syrup. Mix well.
Step2:In the mixed syrup. Add peanut oil. Mix well.
Step3:Pour in flour and milk powde
Step4:Knead into dough. Put the dough on the plastic wrap and let it stand for 1 hour.
Step5:Prepare the raw salted egg yolk (Note: cooked salted egg yolk is not recommended). If your salted egg yolk is fishy, soak it in vegetable oil for half an hour to remove the fishy smell.
Step6:When the dough is still, divide it into small parts as needed. Divide the lotus stuffing into smaller parts. The ratio of skin to filling is 2-8. For example, if you want to make a 100 gram moon cake, divide the dough into 20 grams. 80 grams for lotus paste and egg yolk.
Step7:Divide a portion of lotus seed paste into two pieces. Put the yolk in the middle.
Step8:Mix the lotus stuffing with egg yolk into a circle.
Step9:Take a pastry dough and squash it on your palm. (the dough on the crust is sticky. Pat some flour on the palm to prevent it from sticking.
Step10:Put the lotus filling in the middle of the dough.
Step11:Push the crust up slowly with both hands. Wrap the lotus seed.
Step12:Keep pushing up until the lotus is completely covered. Pay attention to the strength. Try to make the crust as thin and even as possible. Do not expose the stuffing.
Step13:When it's wrapped, it's a ball.
Step14:Pat a little flour on the ball. It's convenient to demould later. Put the ball dough into the mooncake mold.
Step15:Press the moon cake mold directly on the baking tray. Press out the moon cake pattern (do not grease the baking tray. Do not pad anti stick things. But you can pad tin paper).
Step16:Mention the moon cake mold. It's OK. Spray some water on the surface of the moon cake. Bake in the preheated oven of 200 ℃. Bake for about 5 minutes. After the moon cake pattern is finalized, take it out and brush the yolk water on the surface (only brush the surface, not the side). Then put it in the oven. Bake until it is in the shape of a waist drum. After the cake skin is evenly colored, it will be OK. It takes about 20 minutes to bake (time for reference. Please adjust according to the actual situation of the oven).
Cooking tips:1. The Jian water used in moon cake is used to neutralize the acidity of syrup. Because if it's an acid crust, it's not easy to color when baking. And the more alkaline the crust is, the easier to color when baking. In addition, Jianshui can also make the crust slightly fluffy. It should be noted that due to the differences in production (different syrup concentration, different acid content, etc.), the amount of water needed for different conversion syrup is different. The amount of water in the formula may not meet your actual requirements. The safest way to do this is to try a few things first. Observe the coloring effect of the lower crust. If you don't color it, it means less water is used. On the contrary, if the color is too deep, it means too much water is used. 2. The water in this formula is replaced by alkaline noodles and water. Alkali noodles should be common. They can also be bought in supermarkets. They are also called sodium carbonate and soda ash. Don't buy baking soda. 3. The newly baked moon
