Shanghainese Mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival: Our Annual Tradition

中秋节快乐!祝您和家人花好月圆,阖家幸福!

We made our annual tradition of Shanghainese mooncakes! These need 11.5g of wet oil dough, encased in 24.5g of dry dough, then rolled out and rolled over onto itself, twice.

Then the girls' favourite part, the stamping! This year they helped much more with the process, dividing and weighing the dough, folding boxes, rolling and shaping the mooncakes to be baked till puffy and fragrant. It was good maths practice and they learnt the Chinese words for 捏 (nie, to pinch) and 剩 (sheng, leftover). Enjoy!
