Tips & Variations

This year, I have carefully selected many brands of fillings! In the end, I chose low-sugar series! The taste is not very sweet, and the entrance is also delicate. Here are the reasons why these fillings are used:
1. The sweetness is relatively low, It is more in line with my usual low-sweet taste.
2. The taste of the ingredients will be more prominent!
3, The hardness is also relatively good, and it is not easy to bake.

Knowledge points:
1. The ratio of skin and filling is 3:7.
If the novice can also pack it in 4:6, it will be easier. How to calculate this ratio?

For example: 75 grams of mooncakes!
The ratio of 3:7 is 22 grams of skin and 53 grams of filling!
The ratio of 4:6 is 30 grams of skin and 45 grams of filling.

2. The baking temperature is only for reference, and the actual temperature of each oven is measured for baking
3. The moon cakes are hard at the beginning of cooling, and it takes about 2 days to return to the oil.
