Mooncake Biscuits Baking Workshop @ Recipe

A few weeks ago, our community organized a mooncake biscuit baking workshop. It was held at the community hall. The workshop is free of charge but only limited to 20 participants. When I saw the post on FB, immediately I sent in my details for registration and got the confirmation the day before the event.

We started a bit late as we had a power cut-off in the area. The committee members were seen trying to sort out the problem with the power generation machine.

Twenty of us were divided into 4 groups. Each group was given 2 long tables for the hands-on session. The instructor passes us a bowl of flour, golden syrup and palm oil. We just had to mix it all together to become a dough.

They also pre-made the inner filling for us. However, it was advised to use the coconut fillings as soon as possible after displacing them from the fridge.

The instructor demonstrated to us how to use the wood mould to make the mooncake biscuits.

The dough was quite wet and sticky. The coconut ball fillings also easily misshapen when we tried to wrap it with the dough.

Instead of the wood mould, the instructor gave us the plastic stamp mould.
