Make moon cakes with alkaline water.

material

80g of syrup, 45g of peanut oil, a little salt, 0.5 tsp of alkaline water, low flour 150g, egg yolk 1.

working methods

1. Honey syrup: (made by Sister Rose Fragrant)

10g+100g honey+5-8g white vinegar (I use lemon juice instead), soak 20g sugar in water, and continue to cook on low heat for about 5 minutes to feel the flowing texture on the chopsticks. It will thicken after cooling.

2. Pour syrup: (I found it in the jar)

Sugar: 400g

Water:150ml

Fresh lemon: 1.5.

Alkali: 1/8 tablespoons

Water: 1 tsp.

Step 3 practice:

Soak the lemon in warm water 10 minute (this will remove the wax from the skin) and then clean it. Cut, squeeze out the juice from the skin and cut it into small pieces. Put sugar and water in a small pot, heat over high heat until the sugar dissolves, turn to low heat and add lemon juice and lemon peel. Cook over low heat until it is thick and golden yellow.

4. Filter lemon peel, dissolve it in alkali and water, pour it into boiled syrup, and stir well. There will be many small bubbles at this time. It doesn't matter if they are gone when the temperature drops. )

5. After cooling, put it in a glass bottle and seal it. It is said that the longer the time, the better the fragrance. On the left is invert syrup and on the right is honey syrup. The moon cake I made today used invert syrup.

6. Making crust: material: low flour: 150g.

80 grams syrup

Peanut oil 45g

Alkaline water 1/2 teaspoons

A little salt (I forgot to put it)

An egg yolk (used to brush the surface).

7. Production method: Mix syrup, oil and alkaline water evenly, knead with flour, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 2 hours.

8. Divide the proofed dough into 8 parts, knead it into small balls, flatten it and put it into the filling, which is the lotus paste filling.
