Mooncake Biscuits Recipe
When Joceline shared the cute Mooncake Biscuits (公仔饼) on her blog recently, I told myself that I too would like to make this for the Mooncake Festival which falls on the 8th Sept this year. You needn't have to add any filling into the biscuit and the dough can be shaped in a cute piglet or fish using a wooden mould. The Mooncake Biscuits can be kept for about 2 weeks if they're well baked. Hope you have fun making this cutey for your loved ones.
