Mid Autumn Festival~中秋节


Another festival is around the corner. I guess everyone felt the qi fen around, you can see everywhere in the supermarkets are selling mooncakes and fancy lanterns. Few days ago my mum ask me "Are you making any green tea bing pi mooncake this year?" So this is my little favourite DIY bing pi mooncake just for my mum and its a little difference this year. Not more traditional shapes and looks.... wah... la... cuttie..haha

Snow Moon Cake (Bing Pi Mooncake)






Ingredients: 90g Gao Fen
100g Icing Sugar
120g water (at room temperature) or cold water
 Few drop of orange paste or yam paste or any flavour you like
1 tbsp Crisco (shortening)

Method:
1) Mix icing sugar with water stir until sugar dissolves.
2) Add in gao fen slowly and mix into a soft dough.
3)Add in crisco and knead gently until its smooth.
4) Wrap in your favourable filling and press into any shapes you like. That all. It is simple.

I have been wanted to bake this Korean mochi bread for quite sometimes but did not take any action until a friend of mine ask about it. She sent me a pack of this Korean mochi bread premix and ask me to try. Thanks to LK for sending me the pack of Korean mochi bread premix. This premix is not cheap, a pack of 550g cost rm12.50.  本想老早就来玩玩这麻磁面包担是就一直没行动 :p 友LK拿一包韩式QQ面包预拌粉给我，就赶快试一试吧！! Nice looking little buns, my second ask me "mummy, its this some kind of DINO eggs??" Haha..what do you think? Do you feel the same as my second? This is my first attempt for this Korean mochi bread. I am quite happy with the out come of this Korean Mochi Bread. I have 2 recipes with me when i wanted to try out, which i can't decided which to use. In the end i decided to use the smaller portion recipe. I was thinking if it doesn't turn out well, as least i did not waste too much ingredients :p The recipe i am using is from a fb friend, Pheony. She is a great baker. All her cakes,
