ReplyDeleteHi Jen, Anncoo, 幸福故事书，Kitchen Corner and Claire,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your crystal compliments. :)
Hi Happyflour,
ReplyDeleteDid you add any colouring to the pastry at all? :)
And how many mooncake jelly can this make (using your mould)?
ReplyDeleteHi Hanushi,
ReplyDeleteI didn't add any colouring in the pastry. Sorry, I can't recall how many jelly mooncakes does this recipe yield I think should be 7 or 8 jelly mooncakes.
HI, sandy here. You just cook the pastry with the pandan leaves without blend the leaves? How come the water will turn green? Just cook the leaves the pastry liquid will turn green?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't understand what you meant. Just boil water, pandan leaves, sugar and agar-agar powder together until sugar and agar-agar powder dissolved, then discard the pandan leaves. The liquid will not be as clear as plain water but it will not turn green unless you had over boil it. Boil the agar-agar over medium heat.
what brand of jelly powder?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI used 'Rose' brand agar-agar powder.
