Tips

  1. 1. Hand flour is fried glutinous rice flour. Just fry the glutinous rice flour without adding oil until it is slightly yellow.
  2. 2.It is best to open the lid and stir the ice skin several times during the steaming process.
  3. 3. Wait until the steamed ice skin is not too hot, then put it in a fresh-keeping bag and knead it evenly.
  4. 4. When doing a lot at one time, the ice skin should be covered to prevent water loss and dryness and cracking.
  5. 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. 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. 7. After the snowskin mooncakes are made, they need to be sealed and refrigerated, and should be eaten as soon as possible.
