Cantonese red bean paste moon cake

Introduction:

"August 15 of the lunar calendar is China's traditional Mid Autumn Festival and the second largest traditional festival after the Spring Festival. Red bean paste moon cake is one of the Cantonese style moon cakes. When I was a child, it was very happy to eat it on August 15 every year, because it was dark and black like cow dung. In the countryside, it was called "cow dung moon cake", but its delicacy and sweetness were unforgettable. There are many kinds of moon cakes now, but I still love red bean paste moon cakes. I like its delicacy, its sweetness, and its soft coat, which sets off the delicacy and sweetness of red bean paste. "

Note: when spraying water on the moon cake, you should not spray directly, but spray on the top of the green moon cake, so that the water will slowly fall on the green moon cake. The time from baking to shaping the moon cake should be determined according to your oven, which can be adjusted for 5-10 minutes. Pay attention to observe the last few minutes of baking, and bake until you like the color. I use 50g moon cake mold, 12g moon cake skin and 38g stuffing.
