Cool Treats – Snow Skin Mooncakes Cooking Steps

Prepare an appropriate amount of red bean paste filling

Prepare an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour

Stir-fry in a flat non-stick pan (the cake flour can be omitted)

Sift glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, and tapioca flour for later use

Add white sugar

Add corn oil

Add milk

Stir well

Place cold water in the steamer

Steam over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are cooked through, approximately 15 minutes in total

While hot, knead with a little corn oil to form a smooth dough

Take an appropriate amount of dough, wrap it around the red bean paste filling, and shape it into a small round ball

Evenly dust a mooncake mold with cake flour (to prevent sticking, although I forgot to do this and it didn’t stick much) and press it onto the dough ball, gently pushing the mooncake out (I didn’t take a picture of this step as my hands were covered in dough and oil, but found a similar image online)
