Steps
1. Put pure milk, condensed milk, corn oil and soft sugar into a container and stir evenly.
2. Mix glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and orange flour evenly and add in.
3. Stir thoroughly to form a batter.
4. Sieve the mixed batter.
5. Pour appropriate amount of water into the pot and steam for 20 minutes.
6. During the steaming process, stir it and be careful not to burn your hands.
7. After steaming, take it out and stir to cool down.
8. When it is dry and no longer hot to the touch, put it into a plastic bag and knead it evenly and set aside.
9. Prepare hand powder and mold.
10. Mix the honey bean and lotus paste filling and knead gently evenly.
11. Divide into 25 grams each and shape into rounds.
12. Divide the ice skin into 25 grams each. (I make 50g mooncakes, and I’m used to 25g each of the skin and filling)
13. Take an ice skin and flatten it so that the edges are slightly thinner.
14. Place lotus paste and honey bean paste in the middle.
15. Use the tiger's mouth to slowly close it.
16. Completely wrap the filling and round the edge downwards.
17. Sprinkle a little hand powder into the mold and press the mooncake into shape.
18. Put the snowskin mooncakes into a crisper, put them in the refrigerator, and refrigerate them for 3 to 4 hours before eating.
Tips
- 1. Hand flour is fried glutinous rice flour. Just fry the glutinous rice flour without adding oil until it is slightly yellow.
- 2.It is best to open the lid and stir the ice skin several times during the steaming process.
- 3. Wait until the steamed ice skin is not too hot, then put it in a fresh-keeping bag and knead it evenly.
- 4. When doing a lot at one time, the ice skin should be covered to prevent water loss and dryness and cracking.
- 5. The mooncake mold used here is 50 grams. The ratio I am used to is 1:1, which can be adjusted according to personal preferences.
- 6. The hand powder sprinkled in the mold needs to be knocked out after shaking well, otherwise the surface of the mooncake will be stained with white hand powder, which will affect the appearance.
- 7. After the snowskin mooncakes are made, they need to be sealed and refrigerated, and should be eaten as soon as possible.
