Step 1

Combine Sweet Glutinous Rice Flour (85 g) and Granulated Sugar (6 g) together and add the warm Pumpkin Purée (70 g) into it and mix well.

Step 2

Add Water (25 g) little by little and knead until dough is formed. Add Vegetable Oil (15 mL) into dough and continue to knead to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small portions, about 22 grams each. Wrap in about 25 g of Lotus Seed Paste (as needed) and dust with some glutinous flour. Press firmly into mooncake mould and unmould.

Step 4

Place the 'ang ku' mooncakes on lightly greased Banana Leaves (as needed) and steam for about 8-10 minutes over high heat. Open the lid to let the steam escape after 3 minutes of steaming.

Step 5

Place the lid back on the steaming wok and continue to steam for another 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the cooked mooncakes from the steamer and grease a thin layer of oil all over. Leave to cool and serve.
