Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh the flour first

   

2. 2 Mix mooncake syrup + water + corn oil, stir evenly

   

3. 3 Add the weighed flour, stir it with a silicone spatula, and knead it into a ball with your hands; wrap it in plastic wrap and let it sit for an hour

   

4. 4 Soak duck egg yolks in white wine to remove the fishy smell, and soak them in advance (time is tight, I soaked them for about 40 minutes)

   

5. 5 Put the duck egg yolk into the pot and steam for 25 minutes until softened

   

6. 6 Mash the egg yolk, divide it into 10 pieces equally, and roll into a round shape; divide the lotus paste into 12.5 grams each (10 pieces in total), and roll it into a round shape; divide the flour into 10 pieces evenly, roll it into a round shape and use a rolling pin to flatten it and set aside.

   

7. 7 The duck egg yolk is wrapped in lotus paste, and then wrapped in dough.

   

8. 8 Put it into the mooncake mold and press it into shape

   

9. 9 Preheat the oven with the upper and lower lamps at 200°C. Place it in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 5 minutes, then take it out and brush it with egg yolk plus two drops of water. It will not be too sticky. The color is better, but don’t brush too much; then continue to bake in the middle layer at 180°C for 15 minutes. Watch the color while baking (haha, I made a small crab with fillings inside. The method is the same, just pinch it into shape, and the eyes are decorated with lotus paste)
