I got this simple yet delicious recipe from a lady named Elaine, who I work for. I work in a kitchen of a country club and this is one of many desserts that they serve, and by far my favorite! Drizzle with chocolate syrup and use a knife to make a design.

MOONCAKES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the water and baking soda in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil, about 7 minutes.
- Set aside to cool (watch the pot closely to be sure water doesn't completely boil away. You will need 1/2 teaspoon of lye water substitute for this recipe).
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the honey, 1/2 teaspoon lye water substitute, vegetable oil, cake flour, and salt in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until the mixture comes together into a ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes. Place the red bean paste in a small bowl. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spray a tiny bit cooking spray onto your work surface, then cover with a piece of plastic wrap. The oil will help the plastic wrap stay in place. The dough is sticky and is much easier to handle with the plastic wrap. It is helpful to wear latex gloves or oil your hands to prevent sticking.
- Divide the chilled dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Divide the red bean paste into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Dust the top of the plastic wrap with some flour. Flatten each ball of dough into a disk about 1/4-inch thick and place a ball of red bean paste into the center of each.
- Wrap the dough around the paste and pinch the dough together to seal. Roll into a large, smooth, uniform ball.
- Dust the inside of a mooncake mold with flour. Place the filled dough ball into the mold and flatten it to fill the mold.
- Unmold the mooncake onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining portions. Leave at least 2-inches of space between each mooncake.
- Place the baking sheet of mooncakes in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Freezing will help the mooncake retain its shape and design while baking.
- Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 F.
- Combine the egg, egg yolks, milk, and salt in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- With a pastry brush , brush the tops and the sides of the mooncakes lightly with the egg wash. Repeat with a second brush of egg wash.
- Bake until the mooncakes are golden brown, 15 to 19 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before removing and serving.

HONEYED PISTACHIO MOONCAKES
Mooncakes are pastries timed to the Mid-Autumn Festival, a holiday that celebrates the commencement of the harvest season. Traditionally, they showcased the best ingredients of a region, like sweet lotus seed paste in Guangdong, China, melon seeds in Hainan or pork in Yunnan, but you can stuff mooncakes with whatever you'd like, as long as the fillings are encased in dough and the exterior is aesthetically pleasing. In her forthcoming cookbook, "Mooncakes and Milkbread," the Chinese-American baker Kristina Cho has channeled that spirit by stuffing her mooncakes with blitzed pistachios and honey, a combination commonly found in baklava. The blend is enveloped in a classic Cantonese crust that uses lye water to bump up the pH of the dough, giving it a gentle amber hue, and golden syrup, which lends the cake a chewy, soft bite.

Steps:
- Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oil, syrup and lye water. Using a flexible spatula, mix to form a shaggy dough, then knead with your hands to form a smooth, cohesive dough. Form the dough into a thick disk, wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the filling: In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until coarsely ground. Add the honey, coconut oil, cornstarch and salt, and pulse a few more times until the filling is a little crumbly but sticks together when pressed. Avoid overprocessing: You don't want to end up with pistachio butter. Divide the filling into 12 equal portions (each about 1 rounded tablespoon) and roll each piece into a ball.
- Divide the disk of dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Working with one ball at a time and keeping the rest covered with plastic wrap, flatten a dough ball with your palm. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll into a 4-inch round (about 3/16-inch/ 1/2-centimeter thick), lightly dusting with flour if sticking. Gently lift the dough with a bench scraper or spatula, and center a ball of filling on the round. Bring the edges of the dough up around the filling. If the dough doesn't initially cover all filling, just pinch it together until it completely encases the filling. If there is excess, pinch it off. Pinch together any cracks that form and roll each round into a smooth ball.
- As you form the balls, arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Lightly dust a 1.7-ounce/50-gram mooncake mold with flour. Place a ball in the mold and press the plunger down to apply pressure, but take care not to press too hard. Gently release from the mold and return to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling to form all 12 mooncakes. If you don't have a mooncake mold, skip this step and bake the mooncakes as balls.
- Bake until the edges are light golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and allow the cakes to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and 2 tablespoons water. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the mooncakes with egg wash. Return to the oven and bake until darker golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and allow the mooncakes to cool completely on the sheet. Before serving, store mooncakes in an airtight container or a resealable bag at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. This step is optional, but the extra time allows the crust to soften and become a little chewier. Mooncakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
