Step 1
The two commonly used ingredients for making various small pastries in our family are purple sweet potato and iron yam. However, this is not fixed. Other root ingredients such as pumpkin, sweet potato, and taro are also good substitutes.Step 2
Remember this recipe for making egg yolk filling. It can be used not only here, but also when making other pasta and pastries. The ingredients are eggs, corn oil, milk powder, low-gluten flour, starch, and a certain amount of milk mixed well.Step 3
If you want to make it more delicate, I suggest you pass the stirred egg yolk liquid through a sieve and then pour it into the pot.Step 4
In order to avoid burning the pot or other situations, turn on low heat, stir the egg yolk liquid in the pot, and continue to stir-fry it until it gradually forms into a ball.Step 5
Divide the fried egg yolk filling into small balls. They don’t need to be too big. For example, here I use 25 grams of egg yolk balls.Step 6
The steamed yams and purple sweet potatoes are almost dry at this time, and they no longer have the same wet feeling as when they were just taken out of the pot. Press mud and roll balls respectively.Step 7
Sisters who want to make monochromatic mooncakes can just flatten purple sweet potato balls and yam balls. But if you want to make a two-color mooncake, flatten the yam balls first, then add the purple potato balls to form a two-color mooncake skin.Step 8
Just wrap the egg yolk balls in at this time. If you don’t have egg yolk balls, you can use other fillings.Step 9
The rolled mooncake balls definitely need a mold to shape, press and demould, and the resulting shape will be particularly beautiful.Step 10
In terms of texture and taste, this relatively simple mooncake is definitely not comparable to the authentic one, but I think it is enough to entertain the children and satisfy everyone's cravings. Cooking tips for purple sweet potato, yam and custard mooncakes
