Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and a time for family reunion. During this festival, people like to eat mooncakes. Traditional mooncakes are heavy in taste, but now more and more people prefer fresh and translucent crystal mooncakes. Here is how to make crystal mooncakes.
Materials
Low-gluten flour 200g
Corn starch 50g
Fine sugar 50g
Vegetable oil 50g
Egg 1
Water 50g
Glutinous rice flour 100g
Osmanthus sauce moderate amount
Steps
1. Preparation
Mix together the low gluten flour, corn starch, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and water, stir well to form a batter, and then sieve the batter to remove the particles in the batter.
2. Make Crystal Skin
Add the glutinous rice flour to the water and knead it into a small ball. After cooling, roll the glutinous rice ball into a fine sandy shape, and then sieve it to remove the particles in the glutinous rice flour. Add the sifted glutinous rice flour into the batter and mix well.
3. Make the filling
Heat the cinnamon sauce in a saucepan, add the appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil, add the sugar, stir well, and cook until the sugar dissolves, then add the appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour, stir well, and cook until the filling becomes sticky. Chill the filling in the refrigerator and remove when cool.
4. Buns
Divide the batter into small portions, roll them into small balls, and then roll them out into thin slices. Place the filling in the center of the sheet, then fold the sheet in half and pinch the edges together with your hands to make a semicircle. Place the wrapped patties on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
5. Bake
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust becomes translucent.
