Today I’m sharing with you this snowskin recipe using gao fen (糕粉). This is also for the convenience for those of you who could not buy the premix snowskin powder that I used in my previous recipes. The dough is quite sticky, so better to put on a pair of plastic gloves when kneading and moulding. Do not add too much extra gao fen as this will cause the dough skin to become dry and hard. Change another new pair of plastic gloves for moulding. Store them in the fridge and these snowskin mooncakes will still remain soft for about 3 days.

Total time
Author: Ann Low
Serves: makes 11
Ingredients
- 75g Gao fen (fried glutinous flour)
- 100g Icing sugar
- 10g Crisco
- 85g Pandan leave water (boil 200g water with pandan leaves, leave to cool)
- drop of rose pink colouring
- 275g Cranberry lotus paste, divide into 11 portions, 25g each
Instructions
- Sieve gao fen and icing sugar into a bowl. Add crisco into the mixture. Rub until even.
- Add half of the pandan leaf water and mix evenly, slowly add more water little by little until a consistent dough is formed, Add some gao fen if dough is too sticky. Add little rose pink colouring and knead well.
- Set dough aside for 20 minutes and divide dough into 11 portions, 25g each. Wrap the snowskin dough around the cranberry lotus paste or any other filling you prefer
- Roll it into a ball and dust with some kao fen (糕粉) and press firmly into mould ~ unmould and store in an airtight container.
- Chill snowskin mooncakes before consuming.
- 蔓越梅冰皮月饼
- 材料：
- 75克 糕粉 （炒熟的糯米粉）
- 100个 糖粉，过筛
- 10克 白油
- 85克 香兰叶水 (煮香兰叶和200克水，待凉)
- 适量粉红色素
- 275克 蔓越梅莲蓉馅，分成11份，每份25克。
- 做法：
- 将糕粉和糖粉一起过筛在一个大碗里。加入白油，用手搓匀。
- 先倒入一半的香兰叶水，慢慢的揉拌粉类，再慢慢的倒入香兰叶水至揉拌成面团。洒入少许糕粉，揉到软面团不粘手即可。加入少许粉红色素再把面团搓均匀即可。
- 让面团休息20分钟。换上一双干净的朔胶手套将软面团分割成11份，每份约25克，包入蔓越梅莲蓉馅或您喜欢的馅料。
- 搓圆。沾上一点糕粉，放入模具压花。将月饼收进封密盒子。
- 冷藏数小时即可享用。
- **这冰皮食谱是献给有些读者买不到我平时用的KCT premix snowskin powder。用的就是普通糕粉(炒熟的糯米粉)。面团蛮粘的，所以一定要戴上朔胶手套，比较好操作。再揉面团时不要洒入太多糕粉，避免冰皮变得太干和硬。
- 冰皮做得好的话还是蛮软的，可耐3天都没问题。

Hi Ann may i know how u prepare the cranberry for snowskin mooncake?
Thanks
Angela
Hi Angela, the cranberry lotus paste was store bought from Kwong Cheong Thye..
Hi Ann, notice this recipe doesn’t need the premix flour, what’s the difference between the two. Am looking for a chewy and soft skin texture. Can advise pls.
Hi Rowena, Actually I still prefer to use the premix flour than this recipe. This mooncake will also stays soft, not chewy type but will be hardened after a few days.
我想问一下你的馅料都是买的还是自己做的啊 有馅料的配方吗 谢谢
馅料是买现成的。做不到所以没配方。
Hi Ann, your Mooncake really looks good. May I know where you got your Mooncake mould ?
Hi Elaine, I think you can still get the mooncake mould from Kitchen Capers.
Hi Ann, may i asked why is pingpi premix added in some snowskin mooncakes recipes n some do not call for this flour? Is the texture turns out to be different?
Hi, Not all the pingpi recipes are the same. Using pinpi premix, the dough skin texture can last longer and softer.
Hi Ann can we fried our own glutinous rice for the mooncake?
Hi Deborah, Yes you can. You must fry the glutinous rice flour to very light.
Ann, 请教一下，这个食谱的糖粉好像蛮多不会很甜吗? 和你2012的冰皮月饼的食谱糖粉量差别很大。 是因为分别用糕粉和冰皮月饼粉的关系吗?
Hi Wei,
我觉得还OK. 你怕甜点的话可以把糖粉再减一点。
假如你要做这个食谱的话，记得水要慢慢的加，因为面糊会很粘。
Can we use Cranberry juice instead of pandan water?
Thanks
Christina Poh
Hi Christina, Yes, of course you can use cranberry juice if you like 🙂
