Baking Session With Children

Baking session with daughter

My daughter and I did these cute cookies for friends as christmas gifts. We spent 4 hours baking the cookies and decorated them. We have a great time doing these and I think it was a good bonding time with daughter :)

Snow Skin Moon Cake

I made these last night till 1 am. It was my 1st tried & I made a slight mistake . I forgot to dust with fried glutinous rice flour as I rolled the dough , no wonder the dough was so oily as i wrapped the durian lotus paste .

Ingredients A

150ml cold water

1 tsp pandan paste

Filling

1/2kg lotus paste

Ingredients B

150g Fried glutinous rice flour

100g Icing sugar, sieve

100g Snow icing sugar

100g shortening fat (Crisco brand)

Methods

1. Place rice flour, icing suagr, snow icing sugar and shortening fat into a bowl and mix well. ( I use my kenwood K beater)

2. Add in the cold water and pandan paste and mix into a soft dough. Rest for 10 mins.

3. Dust working area with fried glutinous rice flour and cut dough into the required size and flatten. (my dough is 25g and my paste is also 25g)

4. Fill in the lotus pasted and place into moon cake mould and press firmly. Knock cakes out from the mould and serve chilled.
