We're doing 3 portions, so everything we're weighing will be in x3100g glutinous rice flourAngeline suggested using HK Fried glutinous rice flour for easier handlingMix both ingredients in low speedAdd in sugar syrup & coloring (if desired) into the mixture & continue to blend in low speed. Once wet ingredients are blended into the dough, turn to high speed and blend into dough that doesn't sticks to hand25g per piece for mini moon cake15g of paste per pieceThen we choose some of the cute molds Roll it, press it... ...And there it goes! After a while, Mel got all her share done!Mine.
