Cantonese-style mooncakes
I didn't make this recipe according to the ratio of skin to stuffing of 2:8. I lost 10 grams of stuffing. My husband said he would like to eat one with a slightly thicker skin. Therefore, the ratio is not absolute, but mooncakes with thin skin and large fillings are better. In this way, the difficulty of filling will be reduced a little, and I am also happy
