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.

- 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。
