My dough was a bit oily, taste wise, there is a slight "flour" smell. I think perhaps this is what "Unknown" meant. Maybe we are not used to this kind of flour :pBaking Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208362002183667765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-2748767015250998112013-08-27T12:33:49.528+08:002013-08-27T12:33:49.528+08:00Hi, You didn't mention why your snowskin moonc...Hi, You didn't mention why your snowskin mooncake fail or how you went about it. I assume you are only having issue with the flour? I bought the cooked glutinous rice flour from phoon huat too. So far we are able to accept the smell...in fact my kids associate this unique 'flour smell' with snowskin mooncakes. How about the texture of the snowskin? Do you like it?
