Recipe Notes
• Several flavors of filling may be used, so long as the combined weight is 60 grams.
• These will not turn out as dark brown as traditional gluten filled mooncakes.
• Cool completely on a wire rack and store in an airtight container for 24-48 hours before slicing. Enjoy!

Instructions

Mix the dough ingredients together until well combined. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 185°C (no fan). Line baking tray with parchment paper .
Using an electric scale, measure fillings to a total weight of 60 grams. Include weight salted egg yolk, melon seeds or other fillings in the measurement. Shape into balls and set aside
Divide the dough into four 50 gram balls (or close depending on total weight of dough)
Working with one portion of dough at a time, gently flatten into a circle large enough to cover ball of lotus paste.
Gently wrap it around one filling ball.
Firmly press the dough covered filling ball into a large press. Eject the mooncake directly onto parchment covered baking tray. Repeat with remaining balls of dough and filling.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 7 minutes.
