This is my maiden try on the snowskin mooncake, as i like to made my own filling so as to cut down the sugar level as compared to commerical one. I have yesterday get my sil to order a big pumpkin and yam and informed our indonesia maid to help to cut and steam some portion for me to come back from work and start making.
This is very tedious, as she has steamed in the afternoon, it was cool as supposed i need to knead to soft while hot. Therefore, i have use a seiver to seive my pumpkin puree and transfer to pot to cooked into a paste. This process solely taken me an hour time. No choice, i have to used a blender to blend the yam. Luckily, the yam was not too sticky.
I happily took those mooncake plunger out from my cabinet which last year i ordered from Elyn - one of the blogger whom bake. I realised last night that i do not know how to handle it and have to used back the old plunger which i bought from Phoon Huat last year.
I thought the snowskin is the easier to do; but after last night, i m wrong. Really must pay some school fee to expedite my making process as i m impatient with the naughty skin. The 1st round which got a lighter pink color was too dry to handle, it break when wrapping. The second round i pour in more water and find that is a lot of different.
I doubt i will finished up my balance flour for snowskin as is very difficult to handle.
But, this morning when i bring in some for my colleague to try, they find that the darker tone the skin is too soft, should have cut down the water a bit.
Overall, they like the filling as it was not sweet.
