Pandan Pingpi Mooncakes

Last weekend i try out the pingpi mooncake on the recipe book i bought....
so buy some pingpi mooncake mould and the ingredients...
i malas to make the lotus filling, so i just bought those ready made from the bakery store....
so i actually do the pingpi skin and start forming the mooncake n i'm DONE with the pingpi mooncake....simple?

Pandan Pingpi Mooncakes

so in order to start, we need the ingredients:-
For Skin:
A : (sieved together) 80g commercial koh fun, 30g cooked cornflour, 40g icing sugar
B : 30g shortening, 30g liquid glucose
125-150ml pandan juice(blended with 15 blades pandan leave,strain out solution, cooked and cool well)

Paste filling: i buy ready made pandan lotus & red bean lotus(from bakery store)

Utensil : mooncake mould

Tips:
1. Commercial Koh Fun actually is cooked glutinous rice. but cook is so time consuming so just buy those ready cooked glutinous rice called 'Koh Fun'.
2. Cooked Cornflour - take the cornflour to steam for 10-15min.
2. pandan juice - is important to form the color of the pingpi skin. if u dun wan to put pandan juice, u can replace with pandan essence and some green coloring...

Method:
1. For skin: Combine ingredient(A) and ingredient(B) together. Knead into a smooth dough. Cover and rest dough for one hour or keep chilled overnight.
2. Scale the filling and dough according to ur mooncake mould and shape round, set aside.
3. Flatten the skin and wrap in the paste filling. Shape round dust with koh fun, place into mould, press and dislodge imprinted mooncake. (u can dust so koh fun on the mould too)
