IMPORTANT MOONCAKE TIPS

• The mooncake mold must be completely dry and well-coated with flour when shaping each individual mooncake.
• It’s very important to weigh everything, so you must dust off your kitchen scale! We would recommend to use electronic scales for accuracy. 
• Please set a timer when baking the mooncakes. They get burnt easily and it would be a waste to see your effort get burnt.

Egg Mixture

1. Egg yolk x1

3. Stir mixture above 

Bake

1. Preheat the oven at 165C for 5 minutes. It is recommended to use the top & bottom heat function and to place the mooncakes at the middle rack to ensure heat is distributed evenly.
2. Apply a thin layer of egg yolk on top of the mooncakes and bake them for approximately 5 minutes. Repeat this step twice or until mooncake turns golden brown.
   
   
3. Remove mooncakes from the oven and let them cool off before storing them in a container. 

4. When the mooncakes are freshly baked, the dough will be dry and hard. This is normal as we will have to let the mooncakes cool off in an airtight container for 1-2 days for it to get the sheen of oil we see from the commercial mooncakes. 

5. Your mooncakes are ready to be consumed after this! Pheww, you can finally kick back and relax with a cup of oolong tea.
