Piggy mooncake biscuits - my first attempt

Saw this lovely blog on making fish mooncake biscuits. So I went to Phoon Huat to get all the necessary ingredients and mould.

First, mix the lotus paste and sugar syrup together.

Mix them well till no lumps were formed.

Sifted the HK flour

Mix the flour with the sugar syrup to form a dough,let dough rest for about 2 hours, cover them or wrap in clingwrap and chill in fridge (not freezer).

After about 2 hours, roll some into a ball and placed into the mould (dust the mould with some flour for easy unmoulding).

Watch my video on the unmoulding process, hahaha very noisy.

Baked at 160 deg celsius for about 10 to 12 mins, let it cool for another 10 mins.

Glaze them with eggwash and baked for another 15 to 20 mins.

My finished product - so happy.

For the recipe and step by step instructions, please pop over to xucaca-life blogspot.
