Dear Aunty Yochana,

May I know what is Roselle juice? If my mould is 160g,what should be the weight of the skin and filling? Is there a method to calculate the proportion so that I know how to convert when I use a different mould. Thank you.

Hi Cookie monster,

Roselle is a kind of flower and when you cook it, it will be dark maroon in colour, something like Ribena.

If you mould is 160 gm. - Use 45 gm. skin and 115 for the fillings.

Dear Aunty Yochana,

Hi cookie Monster,

I planted the roselle in my garden. Now my poor roselle is limping weaking.

Thailand and Malaysia sells Roselle. They are sourish in taste. You can get the syrup in the supermarket but it's too sweet (cordial). I prefer the fresh ones.

Hi Aunty

How do I measure a mooncake mould to determine the amount of dough and filling to use?

Hi Rosalynn,

Here is a rough guide for you:

I used 45 gm. for skin and 135 Lotus paste with a single egg yolk.

It depends on your mould, so all you have to do is to cut down here and there to fit into your mould. I'll be having a mooncake class on the 9th of Sept. It's a bit late tho but it's all for a blog fan who flew in all the way from USA who is keen to learn.
