Creating Your Very Own Delicious Snowskin Mooncake

First & most important part,the Filling

Step 1
Mix wheat starch, powdered sugar, melted butter and condensed milk until well combined. Add the eggs and beat lightly until fully blended.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat. Stir and fold constantly with a flexible spatula once the mixture starts to solidify at the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
When the mixture becomes evenly solid, transfer it to a bowl. It should hold in shape but not too dry (refer to the video attached below for the desired consistency).
Step 4
Lay a piece of cling film to cover the cooked filling. Leave to cool completely then put into the fridge to firm up further.

Once the filling is made, let's move on to the Skin

Step 1
While waiting for the filling to cool, mix glutinous rice flour, regular rice flour, wheat starch & powdered sugar into a bowl. Pour in milk and mix until smooth. Add condensed milk and oil. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into a deep plate, then cover it with another plate. Cook it using one of these methods: [Method 1] In a microwave for 4 minutes on high power; [Method 2] In a steamer for 20 minutes over medium-high heat (refer note 1).
Step 3
By then the mixture should have turned solid. Use a flexible spatula to scrape it off and transfer to another plate to speed up cooling (refer note 2).
Step 4
When it’s cool enough to touch, combine and knead it in your hands until it becomes smooth (wear food-safe gloves to prevent sticking). Wrap it with cling film if not used immediately.

Let's beautify it by adding some colors (optional)

Step 1
Sprinkle matcha powder or purple sweet potato powder over the cooked dough. Knead to distribute the powder until the color becomes even. 

Next, it's time to toast the dusting flour

Step 1
In a pan, toast glutinous rice flour over low heat for about 4 minutes. Transfer out to cool for later use.

It's time to put it all together

Step 1
Take the filling out and knead in your hands briefly to make it smoother. Divide it into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
Step 2
Shape the skin into 8 equal balls. Flatten one piece into a round wrapper and place a filling ball in the middle. Gently push the wrapper upwards to tightly cover the filling and seal at the top.
Step 3
Roll the assembled ball in the toasted glutinous rice flour. Rub off any excess flour leaving just a very thin layer.
Step 4
Put the ball into a mooncake mold. Place the mold, with the opening facing down, onto a lightly dusted surface. Press the springy handle and lift the mold. Push the handle again to release the mooncake (see note 3).

It's done! Here are some storing tips to keep them fresh

Store in the fridge
Store them in air-tight containers in the fridge and consume within 72 hours.
Store in the freezer
Lay them in a single layer to freeze. Once completely frozen, transfer them into air-tight containers/bags. Store in the freezer for up to a month.

Additional Notes

1. If you’re to double the quantity of the recipe, microwave the skin mixture in two batches. If steaming, increase the cooking time to 30 minutes.

2. It’s perfectly normal to see some oil separated from the dough after cooking. Just remember to knead it into the dough.

3. Dust the mooncake mold before shaping if your mooncakes don’t slide off easily.
