Guangdong-style Wuren mooncake

Guangdong-style Wuren mooncake
The first time I made Dongrong mooncakes I always felt that there were shortcomings. There are many areas for improvement.
So I struck while the iron was hot and made this Wuren mooncake. The mooncakes have been made for several days. In the past two days, because I have been busy preparing things for home for the holidays, I have been shopping around and shopping around, and I have no time to spread them.
It's raining again today, so I'll take advantage of the free time to tidy up and post it up to share with everyone.
This time, the mooncakes can really be called Guangzhou-style mooncakes. They were so hard that they could kill a DOG when they were just out of the oven and cooled!

It was sealed in a crisper for a day, and by the next afternoon, it was really soft and ready to eat. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to cut a section to take photos when it was just baked. The mooncakes are relatively hard when they are baked, so that the cross-section taken is frighteningly ugly!

However, the taste is really delicious! I can say without blushing that it is the best Wuren mooncake I have ever eaten!
Because Wuren mooncakes are also my family's favorite, I made a lot this time and prepared to take them home to share with them! I also made several flower shapes!

The recipe still comes from the Almighty Junzhi, but I have changed the content of the five-kernel stuffing. The aroma of nuts, coupled with the sour and sweet taste of orange sugar. The taste is really great!

  • Guangdong-style Wuren mooncake Make Tips

    1. If you don't have peanut oil, you can also use other edible oils that are not particularly strong in taste. 2. I only removed part of the red skin of peanuts. On the one hand, it was because the red skin of peanuts had a blood-replenishing effect. On the other hand, this beautiful red color also played a certain decorative role! 3. Maltose is very sticky. Before scooping, you can dip the spoon with water first, so that it will not stick again. 4. Sprinkle flour into the mooncake mold and rotate the mold to make the flour evenly adhere to the mold. Then pour out the excess flour. This will prevent sticking. 5. Brush egg liquid on the surface of mooncakes can be made with whole egg liquid, or it can be made with a whole egg liquid and a tablespoon of egg white. 6. It should be emphasized that freshly baked mooncakes are very hard and not suitable for consumption. After sealing and leaving for one to three days, the mooncakes become soft. This process is called oil return. I used the invert syrup I brewed myself and Junzhi's mooncake ingredients. Sure enough, I could start eating it in a day. I'm excited!
