Baked Salted Egg Yolk Custard Mooncakes 咸蛋奶黃月饼

This was one of the mooncake recipe that i didn't expect to be nice, so i made a small batch. But it turned out nice and less sweet. The pastry turned soft very fast, only took overnight to become soft. Anyway it was quite difficult to handle the soft custard filling while shaping. Hopefully i can improve this recipe if i make again next year ^_^.





Just managed to take few photos as i hard hard time to handle the soft custard filling





Soft pastry, less sweet custard and salted egg yolks, one of the mooncake that i will bake every year!
