Ingredients
Steps
-
Mix all the ingredients together and add peanut oil to form a filling as shown in the picture. The peanut oil can also be replaced with lard, which will taste more fragrant.
-
The filling is fragrant.

Knead the flour and peanut oil together to form a dough.

This is water-oil skin. As the name suggests, water, oil, and flour are kneaded together until smooth.
-
Cut the oily skin into the size of dumplings.
-
Divide the pastry into equal portions.
-
The pastry is wrapped in water and oil skin.

Press flat.

Roll it up like this and roll it into a thin roll twice.
-

-
Roll out the filling into a thin roll, wrap the skin with a tiger's mouth and slowly gather it.
-
Press into cake base.
-
Use a small brush to brush a little water on the top of the cake, then dip it in white sesame seeds, and bake it slowly in a pan. I put it in an electric pan, which is quick and convenient, and does not burn the dough.
-
Look! Crispy and fragrant mooncakes.
