my moon cakes

[masteraznchefjr]

well my moon cakes didn't turn out that well they were hard as a busicuit- i might needa add more moisture to it. O yea there was some cracking and stuff. I don't think i should follow any recipies lol they never work out for me.

Any other advice to what i should do.

masterazn.. have you ever thought there could be a variance in your oven temperature compared to what was listed in the recipe you used?? Ovens vary greatly.. especially a difference between electric and gas ovens... that could have been the case.

I love moon cakes. Especially the yellow sugar with salted duck egg moon cakes. Yumm.

Junior, where did you originally post your moon cake recipe? And biscuits are not supposed to be hard..........

shall i say dry busicuits that are like hard and stale

hmmm let me think - i can't read chiense but here's wut my mom told me or wut my mom did to make them

1 g of baking soda
100g of rock sugar - melt it into liquid
50 g of vegetable oil
5 g of water
200 g of cake flour

mike all liquids together plus baking soda

add with cake flour

kneed into dough and then shape
let it sit for 15-20 minutes
then do filling stuff but thats premade

after formed and filled

heat in about 355°F had to convert it from °C for like 25 minutes

Can't tell from your description what went wrong. don't think I've ever had these, so don't know what they are supposed to look/taste like.

maybe I should just shut up.
