Snowskin Mooncake

For me, August is the time for mooncake making! i didn't do the snowskin mooncake last year so this year die die oso must do. My eldest daughter has been asking since last year!so i made pink and white Snowskin mooncake with kittycat mould. The pink colour i use the pulp of dragon fruit ( i added about half tbsp as i forgot to lessen out the water content) anyway thank god it turned out fine.

Ingredient:-( i used a mini mould , so i got about 10pcs)
Plain Flour 80g-- to sieve
Koh fun (cooked glutiniuos flour)  120g --- i tried sieving but the flour was too tiny and flew all over, next time i won do it )
Icing sugar 150g-- to sieve
Shortening 50g (i used Crisco)
Cold water 170ml
evaporated milk 1T

for white skin (1/2 portion)

for red skin (1/2 portion)
use 1/2 T -1T of dragon fruit juice ( i mash about 40g of dragon pulp, and sieve to get the juice, you may have more than you need, depend on how red you want your skin to be, as the amount i used was not much , i didn't lessen the amount of water above)
 

Filling
-400g white lotus paste  , add some toasted sunflower seed/kuaci (toast at 150c for 5 mins or less til you hear popping sound, means they are about to be remove), and knead together to incorporate the seed then divide to 40g each
- salted egg yolk (10nos) and steam for about 10 mins, inside must be cooked


Method
1. steam the plain flour for about 15 mins, remove and let it cool and sieve ( it is ok if some water gets into the flour)
2. Mix (1) and all the above , knead til a smooth dough, do and divide to  2 portions, one for white, the other for red. Divide them to 45g , make to round ball shape, set aside.
3. Flatten to skin to a disc shape and wrap the filling, shape it and press unto mould (apply some pressure when inserting to the mould) and unmould it and fridge in til the mooncake is firm and cold,takes less than 30mins)


* i keep it in the fridge for 1 week and the skin is still soft
* if you prefer more skin , then 50g skin, 30g lotus paste ( and if you want to add some yolk , just measure the yolk and remove the paste to equal as the yolk and wrap in)
* keep in fridge in a covered tupperware , please finish in a week time, or else the skin will be hard
* if you see that your skin is not smooth enough, just knead it further , if not maybe just add cold water bit by bit please)
