Orange Snow Skin Mooncake wt Lotus Paste

Yesterday I make snow skin mooncake again but this time I used Orange Juice as the flavor and omit adding milk into the skin ingredients.Guess milk and acid doesn't go along..so I leave it out! If you miss my 1st attempt snow skin mooncake,check it out HERE !! Well,I guess my 2 nd attempt making snow skin mooncake has improved a bit. I make sure I knead the dough nicely and press the dough into the mould harder!! I tried to make marble effect on these snow skin mooncake.Enjoy!

2. Rub in shortening into the flour mixture until it resemble bread crumb.
3. Mix all the liquid and essence together.
4. Add in liquid mixture into the flour mixture and mix to form soft dough. Do not overmix. (You may need more or less liquid depend on the quality of the flour. Dough will look rough but soft in texture.)
5. Cover the dough and rest in the fridge for 15 mins.(I leave it on the counter since my kitchen is cold)

4. Wrap the dough with the lotus paste and seal the edges.
5. Press into the mould and plunge it out slowly.
6. Use a brush to brush away excess flour around the mooncake.
