Step 19.
After the oil is warm, put the flour into the wok, then quickly mix well, medium and small heat, stir fry for 3-5 minutes, turn evenly, stir fry until fragrant, then let cool.

How to make the crust:
Low flour 450g, xylitol converted syrup 160g, vegetable oil 140g, egg 1, milk 50ml, soap water 4g.
I still use the formula I adjusted last year, this amount is a little larger!
I made 50 grams of mooncakes and made 33 with 25 grams of skin.
Convert syrup, vegetable oil (corn germ oil or sunflower oil are ok), eggs, milk, water, pour into pot together.
Steps 24.
Whip the egg whisk with quick, hard strokes until fully integrated.
Step 25.
I’m going to put in the low powder.
Step 26.
Stir with a spatula and press until smooth and non-cornflour particles. Do not overmix and knead the flour to avoid gluten. The skin will not be smooth and the pattern will shrink during baking.Leave the dough covered with plastic wrap to rest for 30 minutes.

Divide into 30 grams each, squeeze first and then circle.

Do not rub out all at once, rub out a part first, and then rub out after use, according to the amount of dough, stuffing can be left, dough is not good left.
Step 30.
Take out the dough and roll it into strips, divide by 20 to 25 grams each.
Steps 31.
I take 25 grams, the skin is not too thick, my family do not like thin skin, and thin skin is not good bag.
The total weight is 50 grams, so you can mix the proportion of skin and stuffing.
Step 32.
I’m going to flatten it in my palm.
Step 33.
Pack into a five-kernel stuffing, rub up the dough, wrap up!The closure bag is strong.Do all of them in turn.
Step 34.
I’m going to clean up a little bit of the unevenness.
Step 35.
With a 50g mold, you can slightly shape the mooncake embryo into an oval shape.
Steps 36.
Into the mold
Steps 37.
Press the mold
Steps 38.
And when we’re done, we line it up on a baking sheet.
Steps 39.
In the middle of the oven, 180 on top, 150 on bottom.
Step 40.
Bake for about 10 minutes.
Steps 41.
Prepare an egg yolk, do not egg white, add half of the egg yolk pure water, add together, mix well.
steps 42.
Take out the mooncake in 10 minutes and brush with the egg mixture.
Step 43.
Tips:
If you don’t pay attention to brushing the egg liquid, there will be small bubbles, which will affect the appearance after baking.
So after all the egg, clean the brush, stand up with the brush head will have bubbles or uneven areas, brush all over.
Steps 44.
Brush the egg mixture and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
As for the time and temperature, it may not be suitable for all ovens. Therefore, people who make mooncakes for the first time should pay attention to the color of mooncakes.
Just don’t burn it.
The bottom of the mooncake will be colored quickly. If the temperature is not easy to grasp, spread the baking sheet with tin foil.Insurance.
Remove from the oven and place on the grill to cool.
Freshly baked moon cake crust is crisp and hard, need to be sealed for 1 to 3 days, after the moon cake will return to oil cake crust will become more soft, taste the best.

I have tried making the mooncakes, but somehow the skin still stayed hard after a few days. Why is that? Is it because I used vegetable oil instead of corn germ oil? In the filling I also used all-purpose flour, should I have used another type of flour?

Hi, Jane
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
There are many reasons that can cause the skin still hard.For example, the moocakes should be placed few days when the oil permeate to skin then it will be softening.Or the proportion between the syrup and the water.You should test many times to find the right method.
