I have wanted to make ping pei mooncake for years but just couldn't find the courage to do so. As I'm afraid of failure and afraid nobody wanted to entertain it later. At first i thinking to give up making it for this year too as too costly to buy the ingredient of the lotus paste. If fail everything will go to the dustbin like my previous Green tea swiss roll! With the courage of my husband..."nothing is perfect at first and practise make perfect". Therefore, yesterday during lunch time, i went to buy all ingredient including the mould to make the mooncake! Straight away, i make the mooncake on yesterday night too.
The skin is a bit too thick but the taste is very much like the commercial type too.
Hence comes the recipe for the Pandan ping pei mooncake
Ingredient
For the skin
225g Kof Fun
55g Shortening
300ml cold water
225 Icing sugar
20g Wheat flour
2 drop of pandan essence
For the filling
600g Lotus paste
Method:-
1. Mix koh fun, wheat flour, icing sugar and shortening
2. Add in cold water and essence and mix well until it become a dough.
3. Rest for 10 mins
4. Meanwhile roll up 100g each of the lotus paste
5. Divide the dough about 80g each(will have some leftover)
6. Wrap the filling with the skin and put into the mooncake mould. then press out.
* i used the modern mooncake mould as no need to knock on the table!
