6. Salted egg yolks

You can buy vacuum-packed salted egg yolks at the market, but they are less flavorful than freshly peeled yolks from salted duck eggs.

7. Mooncake molds

The molds used to make iced mooncakes are much smaller than traditional mooncakes, making them more compact and delicate. The most common shapes are round or square molds. It is worth noting that the mooncake molds are mostly made of wood, so before making the knife engraved patterns should be rinsed with water until it is clean, and carefully viewed, so as not to stick to the surface of the ice skin when making, causing unnecessary trouble. Automated production can generally be used to press the plastic mold.

(ii) cake flour production

Pour the glutinous rice flour into a clean container, put it into the microwave oven or oven baking, heating / mln on high gear until it is cooked, remove it will have a few lumps, and then use the pasta machine to stir into powder, and then filtered through a fine sieve.

(C) Ice skin modulation

(5) Filling

Roll out the ice sheet into a circle with a thick center and thin edges. Dip a little cake flour or corn starch on the ball, put it in a mold, press the palm of your hand firmly against the mouth of the mold where the mooncake is placed, and exert even pressure until the ice skin dough fits tightly around the mold, compact it and prepare to release the mold.

(F) molding

Manual demolding method is to first knock the mold, so that the mooncake easily out of the mold. The order of tapping is left side and right side respectively, followed by tapping the pressing mouth of the mold downward, while placing the other palm under the pressing mouth and waiting for the mooncake to fall. The mechanical molding machine is automatically demolded by the power of an air compressor.

If the cooling is still very sticky hands can not be operated, may be one of the steaming bowl did not cover the plastic wrap caused by excessive moisture, may be two is not fully steamed ice skin caused by sticky.

5, sticky rice flour that is, rice flour, compared with glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour does not have viscous, can avoid the texture of the ice skin is too soft and sticky. Wheat starch, also known as clarified flour, in addition to making the iced skin look more translucent, it can also increase the toughness of the iced skin texture, so it is not recommended to use other starches instead. Unless you really can't get wheat starch, you can use corn starch instead.

6, mastered the practice of icy skin, you can according to their own preferences to replace the filling of different flavors.
