Snowskin Mooncake 冰皮月饼 (2011)
Here is the recipe
300g Snowskin flour (from Gim Hin Lee)
280g Icing sugar (sifted)
95g Criso shortening (I used mooncake shortening from Sunlik)
250g Pandan water (cold)
1/4 tsp Banana essence (optional)
Method:
- Boil 1 litre water with 6 pandan leaves one or two days ahead and store in the fridge.
- In a large bowl add snowskin flour and icing sugar together, mix well. Then add shortening, use spatula or wear a disposal hand glove to mix roughly.
- Make a well in the centre and pour in pandan syrup with essence ~~ knead to soft dough ( a bit sticky)~~cover and let it rest for 10 mins~~then knead dough to soft.
- Divide dough into equal portion and add colouring for different type of fillings and wrap in filling 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 snowskin mooncakes before consume.

Tracy, 是模型美,才做出这样美的月饼 🙂
The snowskin mooncakes are so pretty, thanks for sahring by adding pandan water and banana essence can improved the taste of snowskin!
1. How do you dislodge the mooncake with this mould? Is this mould easier to use or those that comes with a plunger? 2. Do you find the snowskin texture better with Gim Hin Lee gaofen? Is there significant difference compared with similar flour from PH or KCT?I really appreciate your precious advice cos it will help me save some costs. Thank you :)Liz
great job and the mooncakes look so artificial…more like an art.
@AnonymousLiz, from Sunlik. I think Kwong Seong Thye also have it. Not sure.
They are very beautiful! Ann, you are always so perfect shaping these beauties.
Thks Ann,where did you buy these moulds?Liz
@AnonymousHi Liz,Both type of moulds are almost the same. Click on the picture and take a closer look. There is a point at one side to secure the mould.I think the Gim Hin Lee's flour is more fine. As you know snowkin mooncake cannot be kept too long as it will dries up quickly.
Ann, thiam chiak lor. During hari raya eat too much rendang beef, mutton, ketupat, curry. Suddenly giddy, nausea, cold sweat until have to sent to A & E. Dr. said sometimes eat too full or too hungry trigger the brain then can cause the inner ear unbalance, nothing serious.I'm ok now, thank for your concern.I don't really like moon cake but I enjoy making, then distribute here and there to my friends/ relative.
They look beautiful Ahn!

OMG!! Thia look, amazing,amazing…sooooo beautiful!! gloria
Really impressive 🙂 Have been reading yr blog, but too busy to leave any comment 😮 The piggy was really so adorable, the mooncake was also awesome and now the snow cake was so beautiful. Last year i did a patch of similiar design, but was using the jelly mould. Next year shall increase my mould, look like the press type are more easier and the imprint are so clear cut, between i tried to bake yr traditional mooncake. But it was a disaster the surface was blur and i didn't manage to have deep browning colour too. Shall post in these few days. Your bakes motivates me alot!
Such beautiful shapes! Love the tiny size, so cute.
What a sight to behold! I love your moulds…and of cos your lovely mooncakes! Too gorgeous to eat!
Wow! your colourful moonies really bring up my appetite, wish I can have a taste of each of them. ;p
Oh Ann how I wish we lived closer….how much fun would it be to make mooncakes with you! They are stunning!

@Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking
Thank you very much Lynne. So glad you're here. Will hop over to site now :))
@Anonymous
The dough is 25g/filling 27g.
So, so lovely! Can I know how much the moulds cost? Also where can I get them in Malaysia? I stumbled onto your blog too late to try out the different types of moon cakes. Will definitely do so next year! I tried making the snowskin ones last year but wasn't too successful. 🙁 hope to also make some piggies! Thank you for your inspiring blog! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful moon cake.
我喜欢有芝麻那款
像贝壳型的,美美(^-^)
Ann

Kristy, you didn't get any new plastic mooncake moulds? Must get some as it is very easy to use 🙂
Thank you Bee 🙂 I think the moulds already out of stock.
Hi Ai Ping, thank you! Help your yourself 🙂
Hi MuiMui, Thank you for your compliment. How come the surface is blur? Can it be the imprint not deep enough. Sometime you have to wait for the mooncake to season for at least a few days.
Thank you Happy Flour.
Thank you very much Ellie 🙂
Penny, hahaa… I love moulds!
Sure Murasaki 🙂
Lyndsey, Hope you can be here at the next Mooncake festival. You can even sample all the mooncakes at the malls.
Anncoo, these are absolutely stunning!! What a fabulous pick for the YBR! Just found your site, but I will definitely be back!
Oops! Lynne, I can't access to your blog 🙁
