Mooncake Biscuits / Doll Mooncakes with Purple Sweet Potato Paste Filling 紫薯餡公仔餅 [My Lovely Recipes]

Mooncake Biscuits, also known as "Piggy Mooncake", "Pig Cages Mooncake" or "Doll Mooncake/Gong Zai Bing " is a famous local snack in Guangdong Province and a Mid-Autumn Festival food. It is usually shaped like a pig but has others too, such as goldfish, butterflies, rabbits etc. The cute shapes of doll mooncake has attracted the love of adults and children. It can be described as can eat and play at the same time!

Last time we shared the cold and delicious pastel snow skin mooncakes, this time we will make mini mooncake recipe. The moulds we were using is Daiso's boiled egg cartoon mould. The rabbit means feeling happy and proud with the Chinese pronounced "Tu Qi Yang Mei". While the goldfish is like "everything going smooth". This recipe is the same as classic Cantonese mooncakes, except that the salted egg yolk is not added and the shape is different only.

The colour of the mooncake crust comes from alkaline water and golden syrup, and another function of the golden syrup is to keep the crust soft and also is the classic taste of Cantonese mooncakes. The delicious mooncake crust is soft and does not stick to your teeth. It will taste better with hot tea. After several productions, we have observed that if want to make well mooncakes, the amount of golden syrup must be handled properly, too much will collapse and too little will dry up. Another possibility that the mooncake crust may burst is that the filling is not dry enough, the water content in the filling will evaporating during the baking process then causes the crust to crack. It is worth mentioning that the purple sweet potato filling must be steamed and blended to keep a beautiful purple colour, otherwise direct blend the raw purple sweet potato, it will become dark grey.

Lunar calendar, August 15th the day enjoying the moonlight, eat mooncakes with a pot of good tea with family.

公仔饼，又名「猪仔饼」或者 「猪笼饼」是广东省著名的地方小吃和中秋节节日食俗。一般是塑成小猪模样但也会有其它变化，如金鱼、蝴蝶、兔子等。甚是討喜的造型深得大人小孩的喜愛可谓「食得又玩得」！

八月十五就是要賞月吃月餅再搭配一壺好茶就是完美的中秋節。上回我們分享了冰涼可口的粉彩冰皮月餅，這次就做小巧可愛的公仔餅。選了兩種有好意頭的可愛模型，模具是使用Daiso的水煮蛋卡通造型模具按壓出來的。兔子寓意兔氣揚眉而金魚是如魚得水。這款食譜跟粵式月餅是一樣的，唯獨沒有加入鴨蛋黃和外形不同而已。

月餅皮顏色來自於鹼水和轉化糖漿，而轉化糖漿的另一個作用是讓餅皮保持鬆軟外也是粵式月餅的經典味道。好吃的餅皮鬆軟不黏牙，搭配熱茶吃會越嚼越香。我們經過幾次製作觀察到若要月餅做得好，轉化糖漿份量必須拿捏好，太多則會塌陷太少會乾裂。月餅皮另一個會爆裂的情況是餡料炒得不夠乾，而在烘烤過程中水氣的蒸發導致餅皮裂開。值得一提的是紫薯餡料一定要蒸好後才用攪拌機打磨才能呈現出漂亮的紫色哦，不然直接把紫薯放去攪拌再炒顏色就會變成黑灰色。我們會把一些問題的不同狀況的照片放到網站，大家有興趣可以去看看哦。

網路資料記載公仔餅的由來有兩種說法，有谓是饼家造月饼后用剩的料子，免得浪费，于是凑合起来烹制成猪笼饼。另一讲法，是饼师烤饼之前，要先测试烤炉温度对饼皮松软程度的影响以决定火候。而那些「试验品」当然不会配上莲蓉馅料，只是面团而已烤出来的便是猪笼饼。早期猪笼饼不必用钱买，凡有客人惠顾月饼，店家便会将猪笼饼作为赠品连同胶笼送出。亦有解释说，送礼讲求意头，必须「成双」，故此买月饼送猪笼饼使得凑数。

🌱食材
🟠餅皮
- 200克 低筋麵粉
- 120克 轉化糖漿
- 50克 食用油
- 2茶匙 鹼水

💡小貼士：
1. 蛋黃水是用雞蛋黃和兩湯匙水稀疏，也可以用牛奶。目的是讓表面有光澤，其實不塗蛋黃水也沒問題的都一樣好吃。
2. 如果不喜歡紫薯牛奶餡料也可以用我們家的陳皮豆沙餡料或者任何你喜歡的餡料哦。
3. 休2小時後的餅皮麵團一定要揉到有彈性的手感，不然麵團會一直出油和很難粘合。
