Double Yellow Lotus Rongyue

Double Yellow Lotus Rongyue
I've been so busy making mooncakes and cakes these past few days. Today, I finally drove out the last batch. I couldn't wait to get the oil back, so lg sent a few out at night.
This year, Korean flour was used, and its water absorption was much higher than that of low flour.

  • Double Yellow Lotus Rongyue Make Tips

    1. The dough must be awake for 2 hours before it does not stick to your hands. 2. When baking in the oven for the first time, be sure to color it slightly and take it out after the crust is shaped. 3. Many recipes use spraying water before baking, but after I spray water, the pattern becomes blurred. I didn't spray water this time, and the pattern was much clearer. 4. The consistency of syrup is different from the water absorption of flour. My method is to add flour when the flour is thin, and add syrup when the flour is dry.
