Osmanthus Oolong Tea Snow Skin Mooncake ~ 桂花乌龙冰皮月饼 ~ 2015


Festivals come and go and the Mid-Autumn Mooncake festival is no exception.  Honestly, I'm running out of ideas what sort of flavours that I want to create for my moonies this year.  I love the design of this mould and since I could get hold of it from a good friend, and with the Oolong tea paste that I had, didn't hesitate to make these snowskin mooncakes with Osmanthus flavour.  The Osmanthus fragrance complements the tea infused lotus paste perfectly and is indeed a good combination.








Recipe for Osmanthus Oolong Tea Snow Skin Mooncake ~ 桂花乌龙冰皮月饼  ~ 2015

  • 75 gm kao fun
  • 75 gm icing sugar

  2. Sift kao fun and icing sugar, mix well.
  3. Rub in shortenng till it resembles bread crumbs.
  4. Gradually add in the chilled Osmanthus tea and mix till just combined to form a ball of dough. 
  5. Knead lightly to get a smooth dough.   (Overmixing will result in a rough piece of dough).
  6. Cover and let rest for about 15 mins.
  7. Scale the dough into 24 gm portions, roll into balls.
  8. Scale the Oolong tea paste into 24 gm portions, roll into balls.

  10. Lightly dust the mould with some kao fun and press the ball into the mould.  Unmould.
  11. Yield :  10 pieces 
  12. Place a piece of kitchen paper towel over the mooncakes to absorb any water from condensation, keep in an airtight container, chill in the fridge.  These mooncakes stayed fresh for 4 days.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.

Marble Loaf ~ 大理石面包

  This is my first attempt at making bread with half high protein bread flour and half plain flour.  The crumb is tender and softer than with totally bread flour and it has a pleasant chew and not crumbly.  The crust stays thin and crisps up nicely and not hard to chew.  You can slice up the bread and freeze it for breakfast the next day. Marble Loaf (using 50% high protein and 50% plain flour) Ingredients For Tangzhong 15 gm (taken from total 300 gm) high protein flour 75 ml water or milk, or a mix, preferably milk Method Whisk the 15 gm flour with the 75 ml liquid in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a paste, about a minute or two. Let cool to room temperature before using in dough. Note :- Tangzhong can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Use the cling wrap to touch the tangzhong to prevent it from drying in the fridge. Ingredients 135 gm high protein flour (after removing 15 gm for tangzhong). ...
