It’s almost Mid-Autumn festival, and this year we decided to show you guys how to make the classic lotus filling mooncake and yes, we like ours with salted egg yolk! This is perfect to make as gifts to loved ones and the best thing is that it’s pretty easy to make and not too time consuming. We used a traditional wooden mould for ours, but feel free to use a plastic mould which makes it way easier to remove the mooncakes.

Lay mooncakes on a lined baking tray. Spray a little water on the mooncakes just before baking. Bake at 200°C for 5 minutes to set the patterns. Remove from the oven, brush the tops of the mooncakes lightly with beaten egg. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until dark golden brown.
