This is my last mooncake post for Mooncake Festival that is tomorrow. I made Green Tea Snowskin Mooncake with another type of snowskin flour (Pinpe Premix Powder) from Kwong Cheong Thye (广祥泰) that comes with a recipe. The snowskin dough is very easy to handle. In the beginning, you'll find that the dough is quite oily after boiling the liquid. But you'll be surprised that the dough is not oily at all after it has cooled down and the texture is very smooth like Japanese mochi. I've added some green tea powder in the boiling water to get its natural colour and you can get the taste of mild green tea fragrant flavour with the combination of the green tea lotus paste ..... simply delicious. I will definitely want to use this snowskin flour for the next Mid-Autumn Festival for sure.
45g Ordinary Kao Fen225g Snowskin flour (KWT Pinpe Premix Powder)
60g Icing sugar
45g Shortening
350g Water
1/2 tsp Green tea powder
Boil 350g water and green tea powder together and cover with lid, simmer at lower heat for 5 minutes, leave to cool. Stir well and measure green tea water to 300g.
- Combine kao fen and snowskin flour (KWT Pinpe Premix Powder) in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a pot, mix 300g green tea water with icing sugar and shortening together and bring them to boil until shortening melted, stir with a hand whisk.
- Pour the hot liquid mixture to the flour and use spatula to stir mixture to soft dough and leave dough to cool (you'll find the dough is quite oily at this time) then knead dough again to smooth.
- Measure dough to 22g and wrap in 25g green tea lotus paste.
- Roll it into a ball and dust with some cooked glutinous rice flour (Gao fen 糕粉).
- Press firmly into mould ~~unmould it and store in airtight container.
- Chill green tea snowskin mooncake before consume.
At the same time I'm very happy that the following bloggers had successfully tried my mooncake recipes. Thank you friends and hope that all of you had enjoyed making the mooncakes.

ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous mooncake! The multi colored one is very pretty too. I am really interested in snow skin mooncake as it is gluten-free and my son can eat it. Unfortunately, we can't find the flour here. Will have to cook the glutinous flour and lotus paste myself....a lot of work. Will try it one of these days :)
ReplyDelete中秋节快乐

ReplyDelete@茄子
ReplyDelete是啊。。。做了很多天月饼了，还有一点馅留在冰箱里，有点累。 迟些时候，在想想怎样解决掉吧。
@Biren @ Roti n Rice
ReplyDeleteThank you Biren. The multi colored one was actually from the remaining coloured dough, just nice for one mini size.
Is not easy to cook lotus paste and glutinous flour at home. Hope you can find the ready made one day.

ReplyDeleteAnn, I really love all of your mooncake moulds! All so cute and beautiful! ;D
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the link to my post! ;)
Btw, is it that different kinda flour needs different amount of water to mix?
@Ꮮуռ (ᶬˠ ᶩᶤᵗᵗᶥᵋ ᵐᵋˢˢᵞ ᴻ ᶜʱᵋᵋᵏᵞ)
ReplyDeleteLyn, I think as long as it is kao fen, the water is about the same but is the quality that matters.
@Anncoo Ok noted. Thank you so much for sharing everything that you know, Ann! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with you: "it's the quality that matters."
I'll try to practice more when free. ;)
Gorgeous cake! Thanks for linking up to Sweets for a Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAll your mooncakes are breathtakinlgy beautiful. When I read through the recipes, it does not seem so difficult to make, but i am not sure I am ready to try yet:) The molds are very pretty too! and i love this one. the snow skin covers look much tender than the store bought ones that we were given.
