These are absolutely gorgeous! :D I sent mooncakes to my chinese friend recently. It's a bit late, but they're still yummy. I want to try making mooncakes myself soon.
1 tsp of molasses (optional to make the pastry darker in colour only)
Method:
Mix all the liquid ingredients together, sift in the flour and mixing it into a soft dough and cover it to rest. Let the dough rest for at least 1 hour, but not more than 18 hours in the room temperature.
Wrap with 32g of pastry and press into mooncake mould press out from the mould and bake for 10mins, cool slightly then brush with egg glaze( 1 egg + 1 tbsp water + 1tsp of groundnut oil), Then rebake again for another 10mins or till golden brown.
what do moon cakes taste like? Is it sugary? bland? is it like bread? Is the texture like mochi?
