Snowskin Mooncake

Ingredients:-

(Makes about 20 mini mooncakes)

200g icing sugar
150g kao fen (fried glutinous rice flour)
65g shortening
150ml cooked water
1 tsp condensed milk (optional)


Method:-

1) Sieve the kao fen and powdered sugar together.
2) Make a well in the sieved dry ingredients and add the shortening and condensed milk.
3) Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon till crumbly.
4) Add water slowly to form a dough. Knead it till smooth.
5) Set the dough aside to rest for about 20 mins.
6) Meanwhile, roll fillings (store bought) into balls and divide your dough accordingly. Dust work table with kao fen if necessary.
7) Roll out your dough and wrap your fillings. Dust mould with kao fen before moulding.
8) Press to shape. Tap mould on table to allow mooncake to tapped out.


Note:-

1) I've used the plastic mini mooncakes moulds bought from Phoon Huat. On average, my filling for each mooncake weights about 30g and dough is about 22g.
2) To ensure that dought is wrapped evenly around, remove any excess dough if necessary.
3) To make Pandan Snowskin, mix about 1 tsp of pandan paste into the water.
4) To make Green Tea Snowskin, sieve about 3/4 - 1 tsp of green tea powder to the dry ingredients.
