Moon Cake? What is moon cake? It's a round pastry snack traditionally served during the Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival. These days, they come in round or square shape and filled with goodies inside. After writing about the Moon Festival, we decided to find a good moon cake recipe and share it with our readers.

Ingredients:
Items in orange indicated we have it on our shelves
1/4 cup of Sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup of red bean paste ( You can substitute any jams, nuts, and flavor you'd like for this one)
Instructions:
1. In a Mixing bowl, combine, sugar, butter, and 1 yolk. Stir well.
2. Slowly add flour to make you dough.
3. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit while you wait
5. After 30 minutes, take dough out and form a small ball in the palm of your hand. This mixture should make 24 balls.
6.Using your thumb, make a hole in the center of the dough then fill it with 1/2 a teaspoon of red bean paste. You can leave the hole open or cover it by pulling the dough edge over the filling.
7. Beat 1 egg into bowl and brush it over each cake before placing it on a cookie sheet. This will give a shiny coating over the cake after it is cook and help seal the opening.
8. Put in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until the outside edges are slight brown.
