Suzhou-style mooncakes
Cakes
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! This year it falls on September 27, 2015, and I’d like to introduce you to the lesser-known Suzhou-style mooncake. It’s savory and it does not have lotus paste, egg yolks, or red bean paste stuffed inside. Instead, it’s got a lovely, aromatic pork filling that's surrounded by an incredibly flaky exterior. It’s sold year-round at bakeries, but of course during the ,Mid-Autumn Festival, they’re consumed by the dozen. If you can't find or don't want to use lard, you can use other forms of fat, such as shortening, butter, or oil. I'd recommend lard though.
