Mooncakes - Baked

As mid-autumn festival is approaching, I have get ready my ingredients for the snowskin. However, this year, I decided to try out baked mooncakes. 😶 Never baked mooncakes before, and the thought of getting alkaline water / lye water makes me feel like wasting extra money just for the making of baked version. Nonetheless, thank god, I found a recipe that need no lye water. 😥🤗😀

Baking started.

Took out from oven to coat with eggwash after cooled completely.

Returning mooncakes to oven for browning.

When the mooncakes have achieved the nice baked skin, removed from oven to cool.

I can't wait for the days to rehydrate the mooncakes... so, I just cut one and enjoy.

This recipe is also very easy to comprehend & has detailed instructions. Do watch her youTube instructional video if you have difficulty.

As it is easy to make, my 2nd batch of mooncakes from oven, & they are more nicely baked.

And with the leftover skin dough, I made the no filling style mooncake. It is supposed to be a piglet, but I've no mold or I'm clueless to how to mold it to a piggy... so it is shaped with my 50g mould.

This recipe is a definitely keeper for me. 👍
