Cantonese lotus moon cake
Introduction:
"Moon cakes originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that during the reign of emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing conquered Turk. He won the victory by the secret message of moon cakes and returned triumphantly on August 15. Since then, eating moon cakes has become an annual custom. However, the description of enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes in the Mid Autumn Festival originates from the West Lake sightseeing Club of the Ming Dynasty, "August 15 is called the Mid Autumn Festival, and the folk use moon cakes to inherit the meaning of reunion.". According to the origin, sales and characteristics of traditional moon cakes, there are four main groups, including Cantonese style moon cakes, Beijing style moon cakes, Soviet style moon cakes and Chaozhou style moon cakes. Common moon cake fillings include lotus seed paste, bean paste, ham In recent years, more and more moon cakes have been used, but I still prefer traditional moon cakes and traditional taste. "

Step 4: divide the salted egg yolk into four parts.
Step 5: put the yolk into the oven and bake at 120 ℃ for 10 minutes.
Step 6: prepare the lotus seed paste.
Step 7: divide the lotus seed into small balls of about 25g.
Step 8: take out the moon cake skin, divide the moon cake skin into 25g each, and rub it round.
Step 9: take the cake skin and flatten it into a circle.
Step 10: add the lotus paste.

Materials required:
Medium gluten flour: 100g
Invert syrup: 75g
Peanut oil: 25g
Jianshui: 2G
White lotus seed paste: 200g
Salted egg yolk: 2
Note: I made 6 times the amount at a time. Our family likes to eat moon cake skin, so the ratio of skin to sink is 1:1. Our family doesn't like the taste of egg yolk, so we didn't brush egg yolk. The prepared moon cake must be delicious after the skin of the moon cake returns to oil the next day.
