Part 3: Make the moon cake
For a 50g moon cake mold, the proportion of filling vs. skin is about 1:1. So you can do 25:25 or 30g:20g if you want less skin.1. Use kitchen scale to weight fillings and round them balls; weigh skin dough and round them to balls.
2. Flatten a skin ball gently on your palm, put in a filling ball.
3. Wrap the filling with the skin. Use one hand to hold the rim of the skin, and another hand to push the filling down gently. Rotate the ball until the filling is fully wrapped.
4. Place the ball on a smooth surface, prefer glass; place the moon cake mold over the ball; push down the plunger hard to get the moon cake in shape.
5. Put moon cake in sealed container, and chill the moon cake in refrigerator overnight before consume.
