One good thing about being wrong about the date of Chinese New Year, I had an extra day to make my mooncakes. Click here for the recipe. But, as usual, I can't follow a recipe to save my life...even my own recipes!
My Year of the Rabbit variations: instead of straight wheat flour I used a mix of rice flour, coconut flour, and white whole wheat flour. And in my red bean filling, I added a dash of ginger syrup and powdered ginger for some added zing. They are in the oven as I type, we'll see how they turn out.

Oh that is so neat that you're making mooncakes. I've never made them before but I love to eat them.
ReplyDeleteThey sound amazing Camilla. How did they turn out? I love all your creative twists, as always!
ReplyDelete@Jenn, they were yummy. The dough, for some reason, puffed up during baking and when they flattened out again, the design was not as apparent. But they tasted great!
