Step 1
Mix invert syrup, oil, and water first, then pour into the mixed flour and milk powder. Knead into a ball and let the dough rest for about two hours.Step 2
Large nuts such as almonds and walnuts can be slightly chopped into coarse pieces. Cutting them too finely will not taste good. You can put it into a pot and stir-fry it until fragrant or put it in the oven to roast it until fragrant. Chop ham and orange cake (I didn’t have orange cake, so I used tangerine peel instead). Pour all the dry ingredients into the steel pan and mix, pour in the oil and mix, then pour in the cake flour and mix until it is semi-dry and wet, and finally add an appropriate amount of water little by little and knead into a dough. If the dough feels dry, you can add a little water. The final state will be able to hold together without falling apart or being too wet and sticky. Divide the mooncake skin dough into portions of about 15g each, and divide the filling into portions of about 35-38g each, roll them into balls and set aside.Step 3

Place a portion of the five-nut filling in the middleStep 5
Use your palms and tiger's mouth to slowly tighten the skin upwards. Use both hands to slowly push the skin up little by little, gradually wrapping the filling until the filling is completely wrapped. Pay attention when wrapping and try to make the crust evenly thick. Don't make it too thick in some places. If it's too thin in some places, the stuffing will be exposed easily.Step 6
After wrapping, there are balls one by one.Step 7
