Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

100 gram All-Purpose Flour
4 milliliter Water
70 gram Golden Syrup
25 milliliter Vegetable Oil
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
430 gram Lotus Seed Paste
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Water

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir Golden Syrup (70 gram), Water (4 milliliter), Vanilla Extract (1/4 teaspoon) together. Add Vegetable Oil (25 milliliter) and continue to mix well.
  • In a bigger bowl with the syrup mixture, add in All-Purpose Flour (100 gram) and mix well.
  • Gently knead the dough using a spatula till smooth, about 30 seconds. Wrap with cling wrap and leave to rest for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Dust the dough with some flour. Give the dough a light kneading to smoothen it. Divide dough into 15 gram pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a ball.
  • Divide the Lotus Seed Paste (430 gram) into 35 gram pieces. Shape those into balls as well.
  • Roll each dough ball over some flour. Dust your hands with flour and flatten each dough into a small disc.
  • Wrap it around the filling and shape it into a ball until the filling is completely covered. Dust your hands with some flour to avoid the dough from sticking.
  • Lightly dust the wrapped dough with some flour.
  • Press it into the mooncake mold and shake the mooncake out.
  • Place mooncake on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spray some water on the mooncakes to prevent the mooncakes from cracking during baking. Bake them for 10 minutes.
  • Remove them from the oven and leave them to cool for 25 minutes. This is to prevent the filling from expanding and cause the crust to crack.
  • Mix Egg (1) and Water (1 tablespoon) for the egg wash. Brush the top of the mooncakes. Return to oven and continue to bake for another 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Leave the mooncake to cool completely and store in air tight containers. Wait for a day for the mooncakes' skin to soften before serving.

More about "traditional mooncakes recipes"

MOONCAKES RECIPE | FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN | FOOD NETWORK
Mooncakes are traditionally enjoyed during the Chinese and Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival, when families gather to give thanks for the harvest and pray for longevity and good fortune. Making and sharing mooncakes is one of the hallmarks of this festival (some even call it the Mooncake Festival!). In Chinese culture, a round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion, and sharing the round pastries with relatives signifies the unity of families. The pastries are made of a tender dough stuffed with a sweet filling -- often lotus seed paste or red bean paste. The top of each mooncake has an intricate design, achieved by pressing the pastry into a mold; traditional molds are shaped like wooden paddles, modern presses are spring-loaded and made of plastic. Bakeries stamp their mooncakes with their own designs; flowers, vines and moons are common. Every family has its favorite version of the pastry, based on passed-down recipes or where they like to buy the cakes. Most feature a sweet filling wrapped around a salted duck egg yolk, but our take skips the yolk and focuses on white lotus paste, made by boiling and pureeing dried lotus seeds that you then cook with caramelized sugar. To set the beautiful stamped design, we bake the mooncakes for 10 minutes before brushing them with egg wash (the key to their glossy finish).

  • Bake the mooncakes until the tops are no longer shiny and the dough has just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Whisk the egg together with a splash of water in a small bowl, then brush over the tops and sides of each mooncake. Return to the oven and bake until deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool on the baking sheet 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for 2 days (they'll get shinier as they sit).
