- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside for 40 minutes
- Take the purple yam and form a ball. Enclose the egg yolk in the purple yam filling. Traditionally lotus seed paste is used for a filling but I couldn't find any.
- Take some of the dough for the cake and form a disc, then gently but firmly push the cake dough around the filling. Check often to see if there are any breaks in the dough.
- Preheat oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit. beat the egg and add water to an egg for the egg wash, mix well.
- If you have a mooncake mold you can press the balls into cakes. If your like me, spay a mold with nonstick spray and put over ball to make the cakes. I used new molds for making soap, I got at a craft store. Line a pan with parchment paper and add cakes to top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove from the oven with 5 minutes left then brush with egg wash. Finish baking till golden brown.
- After cooling to touch move to an airtight container for two days. Unless you just want to eat now. Happy Mooncake Festival
- The egg yoke in the center represents the Moon.
