Mooncakes are one of the most popular foods during the Mid - Autumn Festival. But let's be honest: not many of us really like to eat them, mainly 44because they are made in factories and often several months old by the time they are bought. Now here's the thing: homemade mooncakes. They're 45amazing, whether you're eating them 46yourself or giving them to your friends as gifts. Yes, they require a lot of effort, but they're worth it.
To 47produce mooncakes, you'll need a mold(模具). Molds are available in different sizes and depths. I 48usually use a traditional large wooden mold. But a plastic mold in a similar size will do just fine.
Before cooking, I prepare several kinds of ingredients(原料) and make them into balls separately. The key to 49making proper mooncakes is to gather each ball in layers(层). In my way, the middle ball is made of nut(坚果) pieces. The 50second layer is made of mashed red beans mixed with sugar, which is lastly covered with a layer of pastry(油酥面团). It is then pressed into a mold and carefully taken out into the oven.
It's important to follow the cooking 51instructions carefully. To prevent breaking up, I first cook mooncakes 52at a high temperature to set the pattern and shape. Then, I lower the temperature, take them out regularly, and brush 53the surface with egg wash.
Just look at my mooncakes! Not bad, right?
