25g glutinous rice flour
20g rice flour
10g wheat starch
20g icing sugar
90 ml milk
10g vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil or canola oil)

3 Tbsp cooked glutinous rice flour, for coating
(I didn't use at all)

Steps:
1) Sieve all flours in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and combine well. 
2) Pour milk into the flour mixture. Stir in vegetable oil. 
3) Drain through a fine sieve into a large and shallow pan. Cover with foil and steam for 20 minutes over medium high heat. 
4) Use a pair of chopsticks to stir the hot dough until shinning smooth.
5) pour the smooth dough on a cling wrap, crap it and store in the fridge at least 1 hour before wrap in the filling.

I used purple sweet potato powder and strawberry powder for the coloured pattern. Just knead in the powder evenly with some snowskin dough.

Notes:
Cooked glutinous rice flour is available at most bakery ingredient shops. You can make it yourself though. Simply cook the flour in a frypan without any oil over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When smoke releases and the flour turns light yellow, it’s cooked. Remove from the heat and let it cool down completely. Then you can use it to coat your mooncakes.

For steaming the snowskin and filling, if you can’t taste any raw flour, it’s done.

The snowskin mooncakes can be stored in freezer up to a few weeks. Before serving, just transfer the mooncakes to fridge for about 3 hours, until they become soften a bit.

3)将红枣放入大锅中,倒入水并覆盖红枣
4)用高温煮沸,然后转小火,煮30-40分钟
5)用大勺子将红枣压成泥并过筛(把皮去掉)
6)将枣泥倒入不粘锅中,用中火不断搅拌翻炒直到红枣中的水分变少
7)分2次加入植物油,小火慢慢炒匀,每次都要等油分完全吸收进去再加
