　　四、Making of Mooncakes
　　制作月饼
　　Method:
　　方法：
　　Divide your dough into even pieces of 40g each. Roll the dough into a ball and flatten out with your hand. Weigh the lotus seed paste. If you like the yolk of salted eggs, you can insert one in the centre. Place the filling in the middle of the flat dough and slowly wrap around it. Seal the edges and roll dough lightly between your palms until the filling is hidden. Dust mould lightly with flour. Press dough ball into the mooncake mould. Knock the mould against the table to dislodge the mooncake. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Brush on beaten egg glaze. Return to bake for another 10 minutes or till golden.
　　将你的面团平均分成40g一份的小面团，将小面团滚成球状，并用手压平。给莲蓉馅称重。如果你喜欢咸蛋黄，你可以在中间加入一个。将馅料放在压平的面团中间，慢慢地把它裹起来。将边缘封口，放在手中轻轻的揉搓，直到看不见封口。在模子上撒上一点面粉。将面团球放进月饼模子。把模子往桌上敲，来移动月饼。放入已经预热到180°的烤箱里烤制10分钟。拿出来，放凉5分钟。刷上打散的鸡蛋上光。再放回烤箱再烤制10分钟直至变成金黄色。
