Ingredients for skin:
75 gr Kao fen (fried glutinous rice flour)
75 gr Icing Sugar
30 gr Shortening
75 - 85 gr Cold drinking water
1/8 tsp Colour/Flavour paste (optional) **
Method:
- Sift kao fen and icing sugar together
- Add shortening by rubbing method until the mixture turns into crumb-like texture.
- Pour the cold water and mix till it form a soft dough (Do not ovemix)
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 mins.
- Divide dough into small portion according to the size of your mould.
With the mould dia 4.6cm, I use 20 gr for skin and 25 gr for filling.
The above skin recipe yields around 12-13 pcs.
NOTE:
** Colour or flavour paste can be diluted with cold drinking water before pour into the flour.

I like the marble effect on the mooncake. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteDG, the snowskin mooncakes are nicely made, I especially like the 2 tone colors :).
ReplyDeleteA box of your assorted flavoured snowskin mooncakes would cost a sum if it's bought from confectionary shops. It's better to have such homemade mooncakes - Taste, quality and most important, the cleanliness/hygiene when making them are not compromised.
ReplyDeleteYou're also in mooncakes making fever! Tempting... ;p
ReplyDeleteThese are very colorful. Next year I must try the chocolate paste filling, looks good :)
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and well made snow skin mooncakes! I gave up making bing pi mooncakes this year. :P Thanks for sharing this DG.
ReplyDeletecantik2nyer DG.. i pernah makan sekali jer.. itu pun sebab mengidam. hihihihi...
ReplyDeleteDG，中秋节快乐！！
ReplyDeleteWen & Jess,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comments. Actually, it was last minute decision to the marble looks for the chocolate mooncakes skin, as I found out if I put one colour, then it will be totally dark & awful looking. Lucky I still have some white skin left :)
Busygran,
Agree with you. Somemore homemade mooncakes are made with better ingredients and so much cheaper.
Happyflour,
