70g water

Oil dough @ 67g:

175g cake/superfine/high ratio flour

METHOD:

  1. Place mashed yam in a pan/wok. Add salt, sugar and oil gradually into yam paste, a small portion at a time. Keep stirring at all times. Cook until the paste leaves the sides of the wok clean when stirred. Set aside to cool.

  2. Measure 640g of yam paste for mooncakes with no yolks, OR480g for mooncakes with yolks. Add melon seeds (if using) and mix well. Divide into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Wrap an egg yolk into each ball (if using yolks).

  3. To prepare water dough: Sift flour and icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle and gradually pour in the corn oil and water.  Mix well and lightly knead for about 1 minute until a non-sticky dough is formed. Leave the dough aside and go on to prepare oil dough.

  4. To prepare oil dough: Sift flour into another mixing bowl. Mix shortening with flour well. Do not knead this dough .

  5. Divide water and oil dough into 4 portions . Each water dough should weigh 100g while each oil dough should weigh 67g .

  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a water dough. Wrap an oil dough with this water dough to form a ball .

  7. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough in Step 6. Roll as swiss-roll . Give the dough a quarter turn and roll out the dough length wise again. Roll as swiss-roll . Divide it into 2 equal portions .
