Rainbow snowskin mooncakes 彩虹冰皮月饼 (中英食谱)








Last week we had rainbow cake and cupcakes to celebrate my daughter's birthday. This week we are welcoming the mid-autumn festival with rainbow snowskin mooncakes.

Actually, I was not planning to make any snowskin mooncake this year since I have already done a few batches of Shanghai mooncakes for the past two weeks. However, this afternoon I was in the mood to 'play' in the kitchen and decided to attempt some rainbow snowskin mooncakes. Sometime ago, I saw someone in a baking group who has done this rainbow mooncakes before and got the idea from her. The rainbow colours continue to cheer us up especially this mama here who is getting the jitters as PSLE draws nearer...haha!

Notes 笔记:
- You can make your own fried glutinous by frying it in a cooking pan, stir it continuously (about 8 to 10 minutes) on low heat until you see some smoke coming up and the flour turns slightly yellow. Off the heat, remove from pan and set aside to cool down before using.  Unused portion if kept properly can be stored in the fridge for up to six months.
- 自制熟糯米粉:将糯米粉放入一个干净,无油无水的锅中,用小火,干炒至稍微冒烟即微微发黄,(大概8~10分钟),熄火。待凉备用。 用剩余的熟糯米粉如果保存妥当可以在冰箱收藏达六个月。
