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.

Don't make it too thick in some places. If it's too thin in some places, the stuffing will be exposed easily.
