Description
Instead of syrup, you can use honey, and instead of lotus seeds, you can use prunes. If you've been to China, it's best to follow the recipe strictly. To ensure the mooncakes have a nice shape, it's better to grease the mold with vegetable oil, grease the ball, then flatten the ball in the mold, wrap the filling in it, and place it in the freezer to make it easier to remove from the mold later.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 5.3 oz
- Large eggs - 1 piece
- Sugar - ½ cup
- Salt - ½ teaspoon
- Lotus Root - 1 cup
- Caramel Syrup - 1 tablespoon
- Baking Powder - 2 tablespoons
- Whole egg - 1 piece
- Nuts - ½ cup
- Condensed Milk - 3.5 oz

Step 3
Thoroughly combine the egg mixture with the flour.
Step 4
Divide the dough into six parts.
Step 5
Filling: mix grated nuts with lotus seeds (or grated prunes).
