Mooncakes were originally used as offerings to the moon god. Moon worship is a very old custom in our country. It is actually an activity of worship for the "Moon God" by the ancients. Today, eating mooncakes and appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival have become essential customs for celebrating the festival in all parts of China. Mooncakes symbolize reunion, and people regard them as festive food, using them to worship the moon and give them to relatives and friends. What ingredients are needed to make Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes?Making mooncakes requires flour, sugar, date paste, oil, pine nuts (filling), water, oven, molds and other materials.1. How to make large-sized puff pastry: Use 5 kg of ingredients, and make 12 mooncakes per kg. First, knead the leather into dough. 1.6 kg of dough for making dough and 0.775 kg of pastry dough. Wrap the pastry into the dough and use a rolling pin to press it into a thin crust (0.67 cm). Roll it into round strips, cut it into 10 pieces with a knife, fold the two ends of the small piece inward along the cut, press it into a pancake shape with your palm, and then you can wrap the stuffing. Key points: After wrapping the pastry in the dough, do not roll it too short or too narrow with a rolling pin, so as to avoid uneven crispness and affect the quality. 2. Preparation method of small puff pastry: The preparation method of dough and puff pastry is the same as that of large puff pastry. Divide the dough and pastry into 10 small pieces each, wrap the pastry into the dough one by one, flatten them with a rolling pin, roll them into a ball, and then use your palm to flatten them into a pancake shape and then wrap the filling. 3. Make the filling : Mix well according to the recipe, knead thoroughly and moisten. The following fillings need to be prefabricated into semi-finished products: (1) Pine nut and jujube paste: First, remove the core of the black dates, wash them, steam them until they are soft, and then grind them into a paste. Put sugar in a pot, add water, heat and melt into syrup. The concentration should be appropriate so that you can pick out threads with bamboo chopsticks. Then add jujube paste, oil and pine nuts, mix well, and cook until it is no longer sticky. (2) Wash the sand with clean water: 9 kg of red beans, 15 kg of sugar, 1.5 kg of maltose, 2.5 kg of raw oil, and 3 kg of water. The preparation method is the same as that of red bean paste. (3) Lard mixed with bean paste: The bean paste used is made in the same way as the plain bean paste. Specific preparation method: Mix the bean paste with sugar, diced lard, rose flowers and osmanthus flowers. 4. Wrap the filling: first take the red bean paste filling, press it thinly and place it on the puff pastry, then take the diced lard, osmanthus and other mixed ingredients and wrap them into the puff pastry at the same time. 5. Shaping: After wrapping the filling, stick a square paper pad on the sealing part of the pastry and press it into a flat mooncake blank with a thickness of 1.67 cm, each weighing 90 grams. Then stamp various names on the mooncake blank. 6. Baking: Push the raw mooncake into the oven and keep the oven temperature at around 240℃. After the patterns on the mooncake are finalized, lower the temperature appropriately. Keep the upper and lower fires consistent. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes until cooked through and then remove from the oven. Remove from the oven after cooling thoroughly. The arrival of 2020 proves that your fortune has also changed.
