Mooncake mould:

peanut oil gives it extra fragrance.

Alkaline water is a key ingredient as it causes the skin of mooncake to have a dark golden colour.

mooncakes need to be left aside for a few days before consumption to allow the oil in the filling to be released and gives the skin a more shiny and soft texture

The mould I use is 70g. I use 4:6 for skin:filling so if your mould is 50g, then it will be 20g skin to 30g filling. For thinner mooncake skin you can use 3:7 so its 15g skin to 35g filling
