【WUMAI烘焙小教室】Taiwanese Yolk Mooncakes 蛋黃酥

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 1, 2020, which is tomorrow. So it is just the right time to make mooncakes at home. This is the easiest mooncakes to try at home, the classic Taiwanese mooncakes with red bean paste filling and a salted egg yolk inside, resembling the moon. Taiwanese mooncakes is different from the widely available Cantonese mooncakes which is much more difficult to make at home. Taiwanese mooncakes use the Chinese flaky pastry which I have written about before, but here you can see the actual demonstration of it.
