I’m sure that many of you talented bloggers are very busy making mooncakes at home, for the Mooncake Festival which is only 10 days away. Today, I’m going to show you how to make piggy mooncakes by hand. It is very easy to shape a cute fat piggy by only using a round 1/8 teaspoon, a skewer, a toothpick and a small plastic sheet. Just remember not to press the piggy too hard when making as you don’t want the piggy to have too many of your fingerprints on its body. You don’t want a slim or out of shape piggy, right?

Now please watch the tutorial below and if you’ve made the piggy at home, I would love to hear from you. Have fun!

制作小猪月饼

90g 糖浆/黄金糖浆
3g 碱水
38g 花生油
全蛋液（扫面）
10粒黑豆

工具：

1个 1/8尺寸的小茶匙
1支牙签
1张朔胶纸袋

面团分成5个50g，莲蓉内馅5个70g，剩余面团，用来做猪耳朵，鼻子和尾巴。
详细做法和步骤请看下面的图片。（预热烤箱至摄氏175度）

**(26) Return the piggies to the oven and continue to bake for another 10 minutes. Must monitor the piggies in the oven at this moment. Take out the piggies out of the oven immediately when the dough skin starting to crack. **Please keep in mind that all ovens temperature and baking time varies.

(25) 刷蛋液在小猪的身体上。鼻子和眼睛不要刷。放进预热烤箱175度烤5分钟。

(26) 然后将小猪从烤箱取出放凉10分钟，再刷上蛋液包括耳朵和鼻子，眼睛不要刷。然后放进烤箱继续烤约10分钟左右。

这时要盯紧烤箱里的小猪，看到猪仔的身体开始有裂痕就要马上把猪仔拿出。 **烤箱温度和烘烤时间务必根据自家烤箱来定
