Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First prepare the lotus seeds, soak the salted lotus seeds and remove the core

   

2. 2 Boil it in a pressure cooker

   

3. 3 Then use a mixer to puree

   

4. 4 Add sugar and butter and fry until dry. To avoid burns, cover and fry with a lid🤒🤒🤒The amount of sugar and butter here can be increased or decreased according to the amount of lotus seeds and your own taste. No more proportions!

   

5. 5 While baking the egg yolks, make the mooncake skin first. Because the mooncake skin needs to rest at room temperature for at least three hours

   

6. 6 Soak the egg yolks in high-strength white wine and put them in the oven for a while to release the oil! Don't bake it for too long or it will break

   

7. 7 When the baked egg yolk is cool, wrap an egg yolk in 30 grams of lotus paste and hold it up

   

8. 8 Wrap everything up and put it aside to wait for the mooncake skin to wake up before wrapping it up

   

9. 9 Take 35 grams of mooncake skin and wrap the filling. When wrapping, move your hands upward slowly. Use the tiger's mouth foreskin. After rolling into a round shape, use the reserved flour and roll it once, then put in a grinder to print out the mooncakes

   

10. 10 Preheat the oven to 200 and 175 in advance. Bake the middle rack for 5 minutes, take it out and brush with egg wash, then put it in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes without changing the upper and lower heat. Observe the coloring until you are satisfied

    

11. 11 Leave to cool before packaging.

    

12. 12 Nowadays, air mooncakes in the South can be eaten when they are cold. No need to return oil and the softness is just right. If you wait at room temperature for three days, mold will probably develop

    

13. 13 The lotus paste I fried myself was a little dry. I like to bake the egg yolks to get the oil out. I'm scared every time I see so much oil. If you eat so much oil, you will grow into meat! I would rather not have that feeling of being extremely rich😏😏😏
