(adjust the recipe for the *wrapper dough* I meant. I bought pre‑made packets of filling.)
??

My best calculation is, since our 3 filling packets (2 × 454g. & 1 × 430 g.) total‑up to 1,338 g., based‑off your recipe for 14 × 50‑g.ones and a 7:3 ratio, for the amount of filling we have, I should multiply your dough recipe by 2.75, which’d give us just under 8. To make 8 full 250‑g. ones, I should multiply by 3⅓ and measure 175 g. of filling for each. (only 167.25 g. possible w/ what we have on‑hand).
Does this seem about right? Sorry for throwing this math at you!

Question: Our mould is for 250g. mooncakes. How should I adjust the recipe and measurements for wrapper dough portions & filling weight? – first time trying to make our own

Stacey,
Yes, you can use salted chicken or quail yolks. They can work too.

Hi
I desperately want to try out this recipe but can’t get salted duck yolks where I am; or even just duck eggs for that matter. Would homemade salted chicken/quail yolks work? Or what would you rather recommend? Also we don’t really have any Asian supermarkets where I stay.

Tandy,
In most cases, Chinese red bean paste is washed and thus the skin is completely removed. While skins are not removed for Japanese miso.
