Mini Moon Cakes

Equipment

  • Moon Cake Mold

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ stick butter melted
  • ½ cup milk warm
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk powder
  • ¼ cup glutinous rice flour
  • ¼ cup rice flour
  • 3 tbsp wheat starch
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until completely mixed. Add melted butter and warm milk and whisk until combined.
  • In another bowl, mix flour, ¼ cup sugar, milk powder. Slowly add the egg mixture into the bowl stirring to mix until it is smooth with no lumps.
  • Sieve the custard mixture into a pot over low heat. Stir continuously for 10-15 minutes as the mixture thickens until it is solidified enough to separate from the pot surface. Transfer it into a container, cover with cling wrap to exclude air and cover the container with a lid. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  • In a mixing bowl, make the wrapper by combining glutinous rice flour, rice flour, wheat starch, 3 tbsp sugar, ½ cup milk, condensed milk, oil. Mix until it becomes smooth with no lumps.
  • Cover bowl with a plate and microwave three times: 1 ½ minutes, 1 minute and 30 seconds. Each time carefully take it out and mix with a spoon before putting it back into the microwave. After the third time, let it cool for 15 minutes.
  • With gloves, knead the dough by hand for 5-10 minutes until texture becomes silky/smooth and not sticky. Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll them into balls. Each ball should weigh about 20 grams.
  • Take the egg custard out of the fridge and divide into 12 portions and roll them into balls. Each ball should be about 30 grams.
  • Put each wrapper ball between 2 parchment paper and roll it into a circular shape about 4 inches diameter. Put one custard ball in the middle and wrap it, pinching the edges closed and rolling it into a ball. Repeat for all 12 balls.
  • In a pan, cook 2 tbsp of glutinous rice flour for 5-10 minutes. For each moon cake ball, coat it with the cooked flour and put it into the mold for 50g moon cake and press for 10 seconds.
