Homemade Snowskin Mooncake Recipes

I always go 'WOWWW" to snow skin moon cakes!

And I always thought that it's expensive, hard to master and that baking is involved!

Never did I know it's so easy!

Here's the recipe to make 2 small little mini mooncakes!

Ingredients for the snow skin:

(1) 25g Kao fen (fried glutinous rice flour)

(2) 40g Icing Sugar

(3) 10g shortening (vegetable oil)

(4) 30g Milk (you may also use water)

(4) 2 drops of Colour dye

Ingredients for the fillings:

(1) 25g Redman Pandan Lotus Paste

(2) 0.5 tsp Melon seeds (toasted)

Step 1: Weigh the Kaofen, icing sugar and shortening.

Step 2: Use your fingers to mix the mixture and make sure the shortening is mixed thoroughly.

Step 3: Make a dent in the middle of the mixture and add in the milk.

Step 4: Use your fingers to gently cover the milk.

Step 5: Once it’s thoroughly covered, add the colour dye.

Step 6: Use your fingers and your knuckles to mix the dough until 95% of flour is taken up and only 5% is left on the container.

Step 7: Make two 25g of snowskin

Step 8: Mould the fillings into 25g as well and add in the melon seeds, be sure to mix it thoroughly instead of letting the melon seeds concentrate in the middle.

Step 9: Rub the snowskin onto your palm and add in the fillings.

Step 10: There you go into the mooncake mould and TADA.

Note: Do not use your palm/ jumble up the sequence as that would cause an increase in temperature and then it would affect the quality of your mooncake!
