mooncake making sunday!

on sunday, mum and i embarked on a mooncake making experiment. she got a recipe from a colleague for yam mooncakes, and we decided to try it out. however, our attempt was more like an experiment because her colleague only gave us the steps to do (steam the mooncake, mash with some sugar and oil etcetc) and conveniently left out the amounts of each condiment to add. nevertheless, it was really fun, and the filling turned out great! what wasnt so fantastic was the snowskin, which i felt was a little soft. i think that our recipe called for a little too much shortening. ohwells. we made about 45, and gave them away already (to colleagues, lawrence's family, neighbours, and marcus!). but we're going to repeat this on thursday, for mum to bring some back to penang over the weekend for our relatives. hopefully there'll be some left, and i can bring them to school!
