Red bean green tea flaky mooncakes

Today I finally tried baking something I've always wanted to do but just didn't.

I finally baked red bean green tea mooncake with the flaky pastry as the dough. It was not very easy to make the different layers so after making half of it I sort of realise what I needed to do to make it more flaky...I think I have to roll it more.

Anyway here are some pictures of the red bean mooncakes:

Red bean paste: Always handy to have one in the fridge so that you can make red bean stuff...


There are two different dough to make the pastry: The water dough and the oil dough (in green because of the green tea powder):



Roll water dough out and wrap oil dough:



Roll into ball:



Roll out again:

Off to the oven for 15 mins:



Voila out of the oven ready to eat:

Very crispy and nicer to eat when it comes out fresh from the oven with the red bean still warm and the pastry falling apart as you bite into it.
