This is similar to my postings on Beetroot Snowskin Mooncake and Orange Snowskin Mooncake.
Here I used pandan water and black sesame seeds for the snowskin and red bean paste [tau sar mooncake paste].
The recipe is different from the usual as it uses superfine flour and tang mian fun [wheat starch]. These two flours have to be steamed before use.
The recipe is available in Yum Yum Magazine No. 86. There are four flavours [beetroot, orange, sesame seeds and blue pea] but I did only beetroot, orange and black sesame. I didn't make the blue pea cos' I have made some the previous years [recipe here].
For the filling, you can make your own or use less sweet store bought mooncake paste for this snowskin mooncake.
