It's the Mid Autumn Festival of the same year. I always make some special moon cakes at home, which are better than those sold outside. Today, I'd like to teach you how to make a French pineapple moon cake with unique flavor and smooth taste. It sounds very tall, but the operation is very simple ~ let's have a look with Xiaobian!
French pineapple moon cake skin
Ingredients: 70 grams of butter, 20 grams of eggs, 100 grams of low gluten flour, 240 grams of lotus seed paste
Accessories: 2G salt, 30g sugar
Specific operation:
1. Soften butter, add sugar and salt, stir well, then pour in eggs, continue to stir well;
2. Sift in low gluten flour and stir well; then refrigerate for half an hour
3. Divide the frozen dough into 12 equal parts; divide the lotus paste into 20g equal parts, and then knead it into a ball;
4. Take a portion of dough and flatten it into a wafer, then wrap it with pineapple stuffing, close it up and put it into the mold;
5. After all the packages are finished, brush the egg liquid on the surface of the moon cake;
6. Then draw the pattern gently with a fork;
7. Preheat the oven at 190 ℃ for 10 minutes, then put the moon cake into the oven and bake for 20 minutes;
8. After baking, individual mooncakes will crack due to bulging, and will shrink slightly after cooling, so the crack is not so obvious!
Cooking skills:
1. This moon cake doesn't need to be whipped, so the butter must be softened thoroughly, so that it's as soft as a paste that can't be picked up, so it's easy to mix with other materials;
2. Make sure to refrigerate the dough before operation, which is convenient and good shape. If the operation is slow and the dough becomes soft, it can be refrigerated again;
3. In the process of operation, it's better not to knead the dough excessively. You can gently pull it into pieces, and then gently knead it into dough with your hands;
4. Temperature and time, due to the temperature difference of each oven, can not be generalized, because the stuffing is cooked, so as long as the surface is golden;
5. The most important one is that the baked moon cakes are easy to spread. If you want to keep them intact, you should handle them with care!
Pineapple stuffing
Want to practice style moon cake, think or jam stuffing better, so made this pineapple stuffing. I used to be lazy to buy pineapple stuffing at the scene. This time, I bought a pineapple on a whim. I really didn't know how to make it. I was surprised to make a pineapple of nearly 30 yuan and add so many wax gourds. As a result, I could boil out a little bit of stuffing and finish making a few moon cakes.
Material preparation:
Ingredients: pineapple 600g, wax gourd 600g
Accessories: sugar 50g, maltose 25g
Specific operation:
1. Peel and seed the wax gourd and cut it into small pieces. Boil the water in the pot and put it in the wax gourd for about 10 minutes (the water should not exceed the wax gourd), until the wax gourd becomes transparent. Take it out and let it cool. Wrap it in cloth and squeeze out the juice;
2. Cut the pineapple meat into small pieces, marinate it with a little sugar for about 5 minutes, kill the juice (don't lose it, it's delicious), then wrap it with gauze and squeeze out the pineapple juice;
3. Put the pineapple and wax gourd into the cooking machine, beat them into mud, then pour them into the pot, add the fine granulated sugar and maltose, boil them together, bring them to a high heat first, then turn them to a low heat, and stir them constantly to avoid paste;
4. Stir fry until the water evaporates and the filling becomes thick (as shown in the picture), then turn off the fire.
Cooking skills:
1. I prefer the stuffing that is smoother, so I use a cooking machine to break it into mud and boil it again. This kind of stuffing has more water and takes a long time to boil. If I like the feeling of big fruit, I can chop it with a knife and boil it directly.
2. Boil stuffing with the pot to choose a thick bottom of stainless steel pot or enamel pot, the best choice is larger open, I use the enamel pan.
3. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your own taste. When you are about to get better, taste it and adjust it slightly.
New moon cake, taste better!
