Tips

If it is too dry, add some water. If it doesn't form a ball, add more cake flour. But it must not be too much. Some people use peanuts and sunflower seeds instead, although they are cheaper. But the quality of your mooncakes will be much lower. If the Chinese almonds you have are not bitter, roast a few and add them in. It tastes better when you eat it. Eating orange cake will have the effect of tangerine peel. If you are making sweet nuts, omit the ham. If it's salty, add a little more. All nuts are available at Dongmen Market.
