SUGARMAN Egg Custard Mooncake Recipes

By Sugarmanfood April 23rd, 2025
Egg Custard Mooncake (Dan Yue Shao) is a soft, buttery Chinese pastry with a tender crust and sweet filling, often enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unlike traditional mooncakes, it has a cake-like texture, blending flaky layers with rich flavors like red bean, lotus paste, or salted egg yolk. Easy to make at home, it’s a delicious twist on classic mooncakes!

Production method

  • Mix 180g of low-gluten flour, 3g of baking powder, 1g of salt and 30g of milk powder evenly, and then sieve.
  •  Crack one egg into a bowl, add 66g of fine granulated sugar, and beat it with an electric egg beater until it foamy. The egg will turn white and thick.
  • Pour in the sieved powder and 60g of melted yellow oil. Mix 28g of invert syrup evenly, form a dough, and refrigerate for half an hour.
  • Divide the filling into 15g each and the dough into 20g each. Take one piece of dough, roll it out, put in the filling and wrap it up. Put it into the mold, press it flat, use the mooncake embossing mold to create patterns, put it in the oven, heat it over low heat at 170 degrees, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. When it turns golden brown, it's ready to be taken out.
  • Let it cool down, put it in a sealed box, and let the oil return for one day. The taste will be better.

Tips:

  • Whipping eggs can make the texture more fluffy and enhance the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the pancake crust.
  • Butter can be replaced by vegetable oil. Butter is better in shaping and aroma.
