Lotus Paste Mooncake

unbaked mooncakes

This is my first attempt on moncake.  I was quite apprehensive in taking this task cos' it always strike me as quite alot of work into making it. Thanks to modern days gagdet and the convenience of ready made fillings that encourages me to try it out. All those blogs that I browse thru and the tips helps alot.  Now that I got my hands into it, I will try out more varieties....it is actually very satisfying to see the result.

Thousand Layers Yam Mooncake

Not satisfied with my first batch of spiral pastries, I made another attempt on this project again. This time I chose an adaptation from Moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival by Choong Su Yin. Somehow, it still doesn't look as good as the one in the recipe.....it should be flakier and the layers should be more distinct.  In the recipe, it stated that the all purpose flour for the oil dough be steamed first then sieved.....which I've omitted...wonder cud it be this step that make it flakier???
