Lirong and snowskin mooncakes

Overview

Take the mooncake mold from Xuexuechu and make a snowskin mooncake first. This is easier. In fact, I have always been afraid of making snow-skin mooncakes, because the skin is more troublesome and will start to harden or even crack the next day. Until that year, I encountered another method of making ice skin. It does not require steaming and uses cooked glutinous rice flour directly. The effect is not bad. This time, I will make the cooked glutinous rice flour version of snowskin mooncakes. The filling is chestnut paste made a few days ago. However, after a year or two, I completely forgot that there was a problem with the original ratio of this version of Ice Skin and that it had been adjusted at the beginning. I directly used the original proportions. When I started working on it, I immediately noticed something was wrong, so I came up with my own method and made temporary adjustments. At least no material was wasted. I no longer pursue thin skin and large fillings, because more and more I find that the skin does not feel very thick even if I pinch it one by one. At first, I wanted to make 4 skins and 6 fillings as usual. However, due to a mistake in making the dough, subsequent adjustments resulted in an increase in the amount of dough. There were 4 skins and 6 fillings, and the number of mooncakes exceeded expectations. I don’t want so many mooncakes, what should I do? Leftover skin? Later, I had an idea and simply did the opposite, with 6 skins and 4 fillings. At least within a two-to-one ratio, the skin would not appear too thick. Originally I wanted to cut it open and take a look at the cross section, but then I got lazy and just looked at the small flowers printed on the mold. The pattern feels pretty good, but some of the stamens are difficult to print.
