Your friends and family are so lucky. I've updated above for metric conversions. As for the mooncake skin being dry, did you cover (airtight) the mooncakes as they rested? Did you leave at room temp? They should be absorbing the oil from the filling as they sit. Was your filling nice and oily? Let me know if this helps. ~ellenEllen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04351866420701745528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-84925641675043579882019-09-04T13:58:10.571+08:002019-09-04T13:58:10.571+08:00Hi Ellen, your mooncakes look great.

I tried using the conversion online and i'm not sure if I got them accurately.<br />The mooncake skin seems to be a little too dry, even after leaving for 2-3 "resting" days (as per your advice). Hope you can enlighten me with your experience. Thank you so much.<br />Btw, tried your recipe for the snowskin mooncakes. They turned out excellent!! Foolproof recipe!! ~christinePassionateAboutBakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216094709045467198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-81929547176353928902016-09-05T01:21:29.621+08:002016-09-05T01:21:29.621+08:00Hi Izzy - Thanks!

We mostly get our traditional recipe ideas from our own memories and from bugging the old timers for tips and such and also from our collection of old Chinese cookbooks. I hope you have fun mooncake mould shopping, they are so gorgeous! ~ellenEllen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04351866420701745528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-53216409712715158592016-09-04T16:12:49.047+08:002016-09-04T16:12:49.047+08:00Dear lawdy - the uncharted, the dangerous, and the...Dear lawdy - the uncharted, the dangerous, and the unsurmountable indeed! Your mooncakes look incredible!!! I'm going to keep an eye out for mooncake moulds when I am in HK later this year, and give it a go :-) <br />Thanks for sharing your culinary adventures. Your blog is charming and I'm glad to have found it. I'm inspired by your commitment to authentic Chinese food and also by your fearlessness!<br />Can I ask where you find traditional recipes such as this? Sometimes I have fleeting mad ideas but wouldn't know where to begin looking.Izzyhttp://ladolcevitasoy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-56383929002787548452016-04-11T13:39:59.304+08:002016-04-11T13:39:59.304+08:00Hi The BDC - Thanks!
