Receta Purple Sweet Potato Snowskin Mooncakes 紫薯冰皮月饼 ~ 2015
How time flies! Mooncake Festival is fast approaching and it'll fall on 27 Sept this year. Many hotels and stalls have already started to sell mooncakes and with new creations as well. Since I like sweet potatoes very much, why not add it into my mooncake's recipe too. I used purple sweet potato and it really gives a nice natural colour. The texture is very soft and not too dry because of less icing sugar but butter and milk are added. Another plus point is that sweet potatoes are healthy and you can indulge in it without any sense of guilt. Will definitely make more for the coming festival!

Method:
Filling - Mix the mashed sweet potato filling together in a bowl and leave to cool. Roll the filling into small balls (25g) and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Dough skin - Combine kao fen and snowskin flour in a large bowl and set aside.
In a pot, add water with icing sugar and crisco together. Bring to boil until crisco melted, stir with a hand whisk.
Pour the hot liquid mixture into the flour and use a rubber spatula to stir mixture to a soft dough and leave to cool. Then knead dough again to smooth, add more kao fen to it if the dough is still too sticky.
Measure dough to 21g，about 14-15 pieces and wrap in the sweet potato ball. Roll it into ball shape and dust with some kao fen. Press firmly into mould - unmould and store in an airtight container.
