LITTLE MOONCAKE BISCUITS

These little biscuits look simple

They are soft and nice

Well loved by my 2 grandchildren

They can have a few at one go

Mooncake Biscuits

200g syrup
50g peanut oil
1/2 Table spoon alkali water
300g plain flour

Egg wash-1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tsp water

Method:
1) mix all 3 liquids together
2) pour liquid into flour, mix well and leave for 40min to 4 hours
3) press dough into moulds and knock out
4) arrange on parchment lined baking trays 
5) brush with egg wash
6) bake in preheated oven of 175'C for 10-15min

I thought my grand children like the figurines

but once I baked like these

they also finished them all!

How about adding some seeds (kuaci) to the dough?
Like this?

These Mooncake biscuits are just out of the oven

It will take one or two days for them to mature 

and 

will look shiny and nice

Note:

If you are making for adults, you may like some variations as follows:

1) wrap dough with fillings: red bean or lotus paste before pressing into the mould

2) add roasted melon seeds or kuaci to the dough for crunch effect
