@craftheritage: Cantonese mooncake is the most famous variety among Chinese mooncakes, an indispensable traditional pastry for Mid-Autumn Festival and precious intangible cultural heritage of Lingnan region. Distinguished by its golden syrup crust, Cantonese mooncake boasts a thin, tender wrapper and rich fillings. Artisans carefully prepare classic stuffings such as white lotus seed paste, and popular salted egg yolk pork floss filling. After blending peanut oil, golden syrup and lye water, wheat flour is added to form dough. The dough needs proper resting to gain good extensibility before shaping and baking. On Mid-Autumn night, families share mooncakes while appreciating the bright full moon. Mooncakes symbolize reunion, harmony and blessing. For thousands of years, this round pastry carries Chinese people’s longing for family togetherness and embodies the exquisite Lingnan pastry craftsmanship. #mooncake#handwork #craft #crafttok #handmade #ancientchina #countrylife #crafting #mid_autumn
