These white moon cakes are eaten during the Moon Gazing Festival in China. Cantonese style is the most common, but this is a variation. They are usually called "moon cake pastries." The dough has a floury coating. These are usually made with pork and lard but today I made them with anko and vegetable oil, making them a bit healthier!

Be sure to fold the dough properly.
Adjust the amount of vegetable oil used for the filling between 70-90 ml. Recipe by Masako Bishoku

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the ・ ingredients together to make the dough for the outside. Do the same with the * ingredients to make the filling. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes in the fridge.

  2. 2

    Divide both the dough and the filling into 20 equal portions, cover them with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Divide the anko into 20 portions.

  4. 4

    Roll out the exterior dough with a rolling pin, and then place the filling on top.

  5. 5

    Wrap the dough around it.

  6. 6

    Roll it out lengthwise with a rolling pin.

  7. 7

    Roll it up.

  8. 8

    Do this for each cake, then cover with plastic wrap and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  9. 9

    Repeat Steps 6 & 7. Leave the seams facing up.

  10. 10

    Roll them up.

  11. 11

    Let them rest again at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  12. 12

    With the seams facing upwards, bring the ends together.

  13. 13

    Gently press the dough with both hands into a circle. Doing this by hand instead of using a rolling pin makes them less likely to break apart after they are finished baking.

  14. 14

    Place the anko on top.

  15. 15

    Place them with the seams facing down, then decorate with red food coloring. Bake at 180℃ for 15 minutes. Take them out and flip them over and bake for another 4 minutes
