Rainbow Snowskin Mooncake

Make 12 small

Ingredients:
186g Snow skin Premix + extra for dusting
45g shortening
69g water
1/4 tsp pandan flavor (your choice)
300g pandan lotus paste (your choice)
1 tbsp melon seeds ~ lightly toasted (Optional)
Rainbow food coloring

Directions:

1. Combine snow skin premix & shortening using the rubbing in method until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add water & pandan flavor, form a dough.
3. Add toasted melon seeds into the lotus paste & divide into balls of 35g each.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions & color using liquid food coloring.
   
5. Divide each colored ball into 2 equal portions.  Place one portion in the center of a template drawn on the reverse side of a baking sheet.  (Template circle about 10cm in dia & divided into 6 equal segments).  Flatten the ball of dough & use a butter knife to cut into the six segments as marked out by the template.  Repeat for all colored balls.
   
6. Assemble the cut-up pieces on the template in the order of the colors of the rainbow.  Try to make the segments come together at the center of the circle to get a nice pinwheel effect.  Flatten the pieces with a small rolling pin or your palm.
   
7. Place a ball of lotus paste in the middle & wrap it up, trying your best to seal the seams.  Don't worry if the individual pcs seem to want to come apart.  They will stick nicely in the mold.
   
8. Evenly coat the assembly with some snowskin premix & place it in the mold.  Punch out the shape & refrigerate until firm. (at least 2 hours)
