Dad is a stubborn old man. He has a bad temper, but he doesn't ask much or high and is easy to satisfy.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father called me and told me that I didn't need to buy mooncakes. Someone had already delivered them. Since my father got diabetes, I have bought him xylitol mooncakes every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I stretched my voice and said deliberately: "I don't plan to buy it for you this year, but I want to bake mooncakes myself for you to try my craftsmanship." My father was very happy and said,"The mooncakes they sent me have sugar, so I won't eat them and wait to eat the xylitol you made."
Suddenly I felt that being able to do something for my parents, even if it was very small, was happiness.
I got up early during the Mid-Autumn Festival and made xylitol mooncakes for my father.

Take a cake crust, pat it slightly flat and round it, put a peanut or black sesame filling, put it into the tiger's mouth of the left hand, push the filling inward with your right hand, and rotate with your left hand to push the cake crust evenly against the filling until it is wrapped. Fill the entire filling, close and pinch tightly into a green body. Roll the green body in the flour pile, shake off the excess flour, and place it in the mold. Press down evenly with your hands, lift the mooncake mold, and push out the green mooncake.6
Place green pieces at intervals on a tin foil lined baking sheet and spray a thin layer of water. Preheat the oven to 175°, heat it up and down to the middle layer, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove it after roasting for 5 minutes, brush it with egg liquid, put it into the oven and continue baking for 15 minutes, until the surface is evenly colored.Xylitol mooncakes for Dad Make Tips
1. Observe the browning during the last few minutes of baking.
2. After the mooncakes have completely cooled, place them in a fresh-keeping bag and seal it. They taste better after 2-3 days of letting the oil return.
3. The xylitol syrup and low-sugar filling were purchased from a baking store. You can also make them yourself, but it is too troublesome.
