Snowskin Mooncake

Managed to do these Snowskin Mooncakes today. It's pretty easy compared to those traditional bake mooncake where you need to prepare the dough for the skin and bake them.


For Snowskin type, just need to buy those pre-mixed packet or cooked glutinous rice flour with shortening then you can make your own homemade mooncake. If you are interested maybe you can give it try....very easy.....



Ingredients: (Make 16 small)
4 Salted Egg Yolks , cut into quarter each
250g Pre-mixed Snowskin Flour(From Pooh Chun Huat)
50g Shortening
100-110ml Ice Cold Water
Food Colouring
250g - 300g White Lotus Paste(From Pooh Chun Huat)
50-100g Melon Seeds

Methods:
1. Rinse the Egg Yolks with water and lightly coat them with cooking oil and plate it on a oiled plate and steam for 10 minutes then set aside to cool.
2. Add the Snowskin flour into a mixing bowl then slowly stir in the cold water to form a dough.
3. Next add in the shortening and desire colouring and knead for about 5 minutes.
4. Rest the dough aside for about 20 - 30 minutes before wrapping the fillings.
5. Take about 1 - 1 1/2 Tablespoons of White Lotus Paste, wrap with 1/4 of salted egg yolk then roll it into a ball shape and divide dough into small portion.
6. Flatten dough to wrap up the fillings and seal up dough to enclose filling completely then press into mould.

Note: You can used wood mould if you want a distinctive pattern or else you can just get a normal plastic mould.
