There are two common ways to make moon cakes with ice skin. One is to make them directly with pre-mixed powder with ice skin. The other is to mix glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour to make ice skin powder. The first method is simple, convenient and saves time.
Ice skin powder can be prepared by itself. That is, glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and cornstarch are mixed by themselves according to a certain proportion.
DIY ice-covered moon cake method
Ingredients: 50G glutinous rice flour, 40G sticky rice flour, 25G cooked flour, 30G fine sugar, milk 170ML, 30ML condensed milk, 20ML white oil and a little cake powder. The so-called cake flour is cooked glutinous rice flour, which is used as hand flour to prevent sticky hands. The practice is to put a proper amount of glutinous rice flour into a clean pot and fry it until it turns slightly yellow, and it smells like raw flour. Let it cool for later use. This is cake powder.
Stuffing:
at will
Practice:
1, put all the raw materials in a basin and mix them evenly to make a paste, add half of the white oil first, and steam for 30 minutes;
2. After a little cooling, add the other half of white oil and knead it into a smooth dough for later use;
3. Divide the dough into small portions, usually about 8- 10. It depends on the size of your moon cake mold and the thickness of the moon cake skin you want. Usually 25-40 grams of skin is used to wrap 25 grams of stuffing.
4. Divide the stuffing. Generally, 25 grams of stuffing is used. Then wrap it like a dumpling, put it into a mold (it is best to sprinkle some cake powder on the mold to prevent sticking), and press it out into a pattern, and serve. The finished moon cakes with frosted skin can be eaten directly or stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
If you make colored ice skin, you can use food coloring. Of course, you can also use more natural methods, such as adding 2 spoonfuls of custard powder to make yellow ice skin; Add strawberry juice to make red ice skin; Add carrot juice to make orange ice skin; Adding green tea powder can make green ice skin; Adding cocoa powder can make chocolate ice skin.
