Method:

1. Mooncake pastry :

    Divide the dough depend on the your mould size. My mould size is 50g, hence use 30g.

2. Filling 20g

3. Wrap the red bean paste with dough then mould it.

4. Bake in preheat oven of 190C for 10 mins. Remove and leave it cool for 10-15 mins. Brush the top with beaten egg yolk. Bake in oven again for 10 -15mins till golden brown.
