Guangdong-style Wuren mooncake
The Mid-Autumn Festival is long past, but I still have a lot of invert syrup I make this year. Let's make an out-of-season snack today! My husband likes to eat five-kernel stuffing, so he bought raw materials to make five-kernel stuffing!

    1. The crust is very soft. If it is difficult to knead into a ball, do not add more flour; just mixing it evenly is fine! Use your right thumb to push the dough up; be slow and patient! When the dough has "climbed" to a certain height over the filling, start to seal the opening. Seal it slowly until the filling is completely wrapped in the dough. 2. Press the mooncake directly onto the baking sheet with the mold, and do not move it, or it will lose its shape! The mooncake is still very soft at this time and hasn't set yet! 3. The filling should be as dry as possible to make it easier to wrap
