Baked Mooncakes 烤月饼
These Baked Mooncakes (adapted from XHS 小红书) are different from the traditional mooncake’s recipe that I’d shared with you before. The mooncake skin has a crusty bite especially when served warm after baking. It’s a quick and easy method to make these mooncakes with simple ingredients that are mostly available in your kitchen pantry. It does not need to add alkaline water and sugar syrup, or to wait for days for the mooncake skin to be softened (return oil 回油). Just mix the ingredients together to a soft dough in a relatively short time and you’re ready to assemble the mooncakes with a mold, then send straight to bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes. These Baked Mooncakes can be consumed immediately or stored in an airtight container for days to share with your loved ones during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

- 用手把面粉混合物揉成软面团至不沾手即可。**觉得面团太粘的话，可再加点面粉**
- 将面团分成11等份 （25克）包入莲蓉馅，搓圆粘上少许粉入摸压花在烤盘上，底部铺纸。
