Sweet and Salty - Lotus Seed & Salted Egg Yolk Mooncakes 蓮蓉鹹蛋月餅

This is how you make the BEST moon cakes with the delicious salted egg yolk. We tested and trialed this a whole bunch of times so you didn't have to and ingredients are listed below!



Wrapper Ingredients:
60g Golden Syrup or Honey    • How to make golden syrup, tastes like...  
1/4 teaspoon lye water (or 1/4 teaspoon baked baking soda, or optional)
20g vegetable oil
100g cake flour

Filling Ingredients:
Salted Egg Yolks    • Saltiest Salted Eggs  
Lotus Seed Paste

100 gram mooncakes:
35-36 grams dough
60-65 grams filling

50 gram mooncakes:
18-19 grams dough
32 grams or less filling

Filling Ratio for 100g mooncakes:
if your egg yolk weighs 10 grams, then you need 55 grams of lotus seed paste to make 65 grams. If you find that this is too difficult to wrap in the dough, then lower the total amount of filling, going as low as 60 grams. The minimum amount of dough for a 100 gram mooncake is 35 grams, any less than that increases wrapping difficulty.

Filling Ratio for 50g mooncakes:
if your egg yolk weighs 10 grams, then you need 22 grams of lotus seed paste to make 32 grams. You can cut the egg yolk in half for the 50 gram mooncakes. If you find that this is too difficult to wrap in the dough, then lower the total amount of filling, going as low as 30 grams. The minimum amount of dough for a 50 gram mooncake is 18 grams, any less than that increases wrapping difficulty.

Note: Lye water is optional since it is present mostly to increase the yellow hue of the dough.
