Custard mooncake
Overview
The meringue of this mooncake is absolutely amazing. After calculating the cost, a 50g mooncake costs about 4 yuan. I saw a private store selling popular mooncakes around me, and a box of 8 pieces cost 188 yuan. In total, it costs 23.5 yuan for a 50g popular mooncake. It is really expensive. You can make 6 mooncakes at the cost of one mooncake, so if you like it, you should make it yourself. It is not difficult, and even a novice can succeed in one go!

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the materials. The filling can be frozen overnight before use. The bought filling will not freeze into a ball. Only the ones you make yourself that have a large amount of liquid and are thinner will solidify. I used the bought one today and wrapped it directly.
-
Pour the pastry ingredients into the kneading bucket. I made 24 pieces. Use a chef's machine to mix the ingredients the fastest.
-
Place it on the ACA chef machine and start mixing at low speed. It will be mixed evenly in about 1 minute.
-
Put the pastry ingredients into a plastic bag and let rest for half an hour.
-
During the resting time, you can prepare the filling. Weigh out 20 grams of custard filling, and the puff pastry on top can be used to wrap 8 pieces.
-
After the custard filling is rounded, poke a hole in the middle, squeeze in half the height of the liquid filling, and slowly close it. Because it is liquid, the filling will burst easily, so the filling cannot be squeezed in too much. If you make your own liquid filling, you can cool it and harden it before wrapping.
-
After flattening 20 grams of skin, put the custard filling. Remember not to use excessive force to prevent the filling from popping out.
-
Use the tiger's mouth to roll it into a round shape, and the preliminary embryo of the mooncake is ready.
-
Sprinkle a little dry powder inside the mooncake mold to prevent sticking, roll the mooncake dough with a little cooked cake powder, press out the shape with the mold, and freeze for half an hour.
-
After taking it out, spray a layer of water on it, preheat the upper and lower tubes of the oven to 180 degrees, put it in the middle rack and bake it for 5 minutes, take it out, brush it with a layer of egg wash after it cools down, and bake it in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
