Pumpkin Nuts (瓜子) toasted.

Walnuts (To be pressed at the side of the mooncake)

Method:

1) Mix white lotus paste & pumpkin nuts together and mix well. the more u knead the paste, the more oil it will release from the lotus paste. (which will smoother & taste better).

2) Once you mould the mooncake, brush the top with egg yolk.

3) Preheat oven @ 160 – 180degree. (depending on your oven.

4) My oven @ 175degree.  Bake till golden brown (approx 10-20mins) also denpending on your oven.

Note: I love to buy the lotus paste from Kwong Siang Tai @ Geylang. They got lots of flavours and most important, it’s not too sweet as compare to PH.

Number of pieces depending on how big u want it to be. And also depending on your own preference to have thicker or thinner skin or lotus paste.
