Hi everyone, this is Lisa
The Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner
Today we will make a lotus seed paste filling first
Then use lotus seed paste to make 4 different types of beautiful and delicious snowy mooncakes
Snowy mooncakes are very easy to make
Low fat and low sugar, plus homemade lotus seed paste
I hope everyone can have a healthy Mid-Autumn Festival
Let's make lotus seed paste
Use cored lotus seeds
Because the core in the middle has a bitter taste,
Be sure to clean before making the paste
Pour some water and rub
Wash the surface of the lotus seed
Drain and soak in water for 10 minutes
If there are no impurities in the lotus seeds, just pour them into a small pot
Add water (about 3-4 cm above the seeds)
After boiling, cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes
The lotus seeds are easy to crush
Drain and let them cool
Check if there is lotus core mixed in it
Otherwise it will make the paste bitter
Let's prepare ice skin
Pour glutinous rice flour, rice flour, wheat starch, caster sugar and milk in a shallow dish
Everyone knows that steamed glutinous rice flour is very sticky
Adding rice flour can reduce the stickiness of the dough
The wheat starch can increases the transparency of the ice skin
Make ice skin look crystal clear
Stir until no dry powder is visible, pour in vegetable oil
Continue to stir until the oil and water do not separate
Cover and steam for 20-25 minutes on medium-high heat
The steamed dough has no batter at all, only the oil floats on the surface
Wait until the dough becomes warm
Wear gloves and keep rubbing
Let the oil be slowly absorbed by the dough
Become smooth and soft
If the dough is still a bit sticky
You can pour a few drops of oil and continue rubbing
Until the surface of the dough becomes very smooth
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes
Let's make lotus seed paste
My blender is a bit compact, it needs to be blended for two times
Be sure to add some water when blending
If it’s too dry, the lotus seed paste will not be so delicate.
Put in 50 grams water each time
The thickness of the lotus seed paste paste is just right
It can mix very delicately
It's not too thin, shortenning the time of frying the paste later
Add half of the lotus seeds
Pour in 50 grams of water
Blend at low speed first, then high speed
Look, the lotus seed paste is very delicate and smooth
Blend the remaining lotus seeds in the same way
So we have done a big bowl of lotus seed paste
After eating the homemade lotus seed paste
You won't want to eat the lotus seed paste from the supermarket
You need maltose in lotus paste filling, which can be bought in supermarkets
The advantage of using maltose is its low sweetness
The filling is easy to form a dough and has strong moisture retention
Stir-fry stuffing must use a non-stick pan
Pour the lotus paste paste and stir fry over low heat
After stirring for 3-4 minutes, start adding vegetable oil in 3 times
Slowly you will find that it starts to form a group
You can add glucose syrup
Since glucose syrup is very sticky, you can put a spoonful of lotus seed paste
Mix with glucose syrup
stir until the glucose syrup to blend into the lotus seed paste
Pour the sugar in two times
After another 5-6 minutes of stir-frying, the lotus seed paste is done
The whole process took about 25 minutes
It's not too sweet and delicious
Cover the surface with plastic wrap
Let the lotus seed paste cool completely, it will not easily fall apart
Divide into 14 portions, each about 23 grams
Round to balls and chill in the fridge
At this time, the ice skin is also completely cold
Today we make 4 different colors
Two of them are toned with food coloring
The other two are mixed with acai powder and matcha powder
You can also color according to your own preferences
In the process, wear gloves all the time
Divide the dough into 4 small pieces
Do not add too much coloring
Let’s first dip a toothpick in this raspberry color
Rub the color in
No need to knead too evenly
Yellow is the same way
Take 1/2 teaspoon for both acia powder and matcha powder
Keep kneading the flour into the dough until no visible powder is visible.
Let's make this pink one first
Each dough is about 85 grams, divided into three pieces of 24 grams and one piece of about 13 grams
Flat the dough
Put the lotus seed paste in the middle
Since the dough is very soft, it will be easy to seam
Roll into a ball
Use cooked glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking
You can stir fry glutinous rice flour on low heat to make
This mold makes a snowy moon cake of about 50 grams
Put the die face out into the die and fix it
Sprinkle with cooked glutinous rice flour
on the finished mooncake and the mold
Pat off excess flour on the surface
Put in the mold
Press down gently
Lift and press it down
The mooncake comes out
Let’s do the same for yellow, purple and matcha ones
The remaining 4 pieces of dough about 13 grams
We can make 2 mooncakes with mixed colors
After the snowy mooncakes are made, store them in the container for 2-3 days
It’s best to eat as soon as possible to prevent the ice skin from drying out and affecting the taste
Tasting time
The ice skin is soft but not sticky
The homemade lotus seed paste is very pure and not too sweet, very delicious
