Thanks to my hairdresser, she taught me how to DIY mooncakes... while cutting my hair, she gave me the ingredients and I have the measurements all inside my "hard disk". Before I lose the memory, I better write down here so that I will be able to do it year after year... (hopefully)
Mini Moon Cakes (Peng Pei)
1kg lotus paste (can be bought in those cake-making shops)
1 small packet of toasted kuaci - to be mixed with the lotus
250gm of Koh Fun (certain type of cooked flour for making the mooncake skin)
200gm of icing sugar
350ml of cold water (icy cold)
pounded pandan leaves (for colouring-optional)
1) Mix "koh fun" with icing sugar and add in cold water to make into a dough.
2) Then cut it in 2"by1"
3) Lotus paste and kuaci to be made into a table tennis ball (dont laugh, please)
4) Flatten the dough and wrap round the lotus paste
5) Then press the dough into the mould (oh-oh, u must buy the mooncake mould )
6) Then...... that is all.... take the dough out from the mould and refrigerate it, can be eaten straightaway too... no need oven, no need steaming....EASY, right?
the lotus paste mixed with the "kuaci" below...dont dump in all, depends on how much u like it
the toasted kuaci
I didnt snap the dough, sorry, cos my hands were "occupied" then...
Specially for AA..
so far so good, no one complaining about stomach ache yet :)
