Thanks to your advice. My 1st snow skin mooncake turn out very soft and nice.

Like to ask you a question, for this mooncake you cook the custard paste or bought those ready made?

I cooked this myself. I also bought the ready-made custar. They are quite tasteless so i added in icing sugar. I still prefer our fresh homemade custard.

Thanks for the quick replied. I intended to try out your homemade custard paste, do I have to pay any special attention. Is it alright to use bake butter skin instead of snow skin to wrap the custard paste.

Would like to confirm what flour should I use for dusting mould, hands and mooncake? Kou fen or steamed HK flour?

Thanks

i realised your mooncake shapes are very well defined. but mine isnt. Is is because im using a wooden mould ? i tried to press very hard, but the pattern are not well defined. Would a plastic mould or Pressed mould make a difference?; September 02, 2008 12:46 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Trish,

For snow skin, better to use plastic mould rather than wooden mould. I tried last night using wooden mould and it stick like what you have experienced.
