Filling Instructions: Soak red beans in water to cover 2 hours. Drain and discard the water. Cover with 8 cups fresh water and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat 1-1/2 hours or until skins open. Strain the beans and discard the skins. Place the strained beans in several layers of cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess water.
餡料制作說明：將紅豆放入水中浸泡兩小時(shí)，然后將水排出。接著在紅豆中加入8杯凈水一起煮，水開之后再用小火熬半小時(shí)至一小時(shí)，知道紅豆表皮裂開。接著將紅豆過濾并去掉表皮，倒入幾層紗布中擰干，去掉多余的水分。

Place in a saucepan with the lard or oil and the sugar. Cook, stirring continuously, until almost all the moisture has evaporated. Let cool.
將紅豆、豬油（或植物油）和糖一起放入鍋中煮，并不停地?cái)嚢瑁钡剿秩空舭l(fā)，然后放置一邊冷卻。

Dough Instructions: You will need 2 cups of filling for the mooncakes. Divide this into 20 portions and shape into balls.Mix ingredients for the water-shortening dough and the flaky dough separately until smooth. Divide each dough into 20 equal portions.
面團(tuán)制作方法：制作月餅要兩杯餡料。將這些餡料分為20份，每份揉搓成團(tuán)。將生面團(tuán)和片狀面團(tuán)的制作原料分別混合揉搓，直到面團(tuán)平滑，然后將面團(tuán)也各自等分為20份。

Wrap one portion of flaky dough inside each portion of water-shortening dough. Roll out each piece of dough, then fold in thirds to form three layers. Roll out again, and once more fold in thirds to form three layers.
將片狀小面團(tuán)填充到生面團(tuán)里面，接著將面團(tuán)搟開，然后疊三次，形成三層。然后再將面團(tuán)搟開，再重復(fù)之前的折疊動(dòng)作，又形成新的三層。

Flatten each piece of dough with the palm of your hand to form a 3" circle. Place one portion of filling in the center. Gather the edges to enclose the filling and pinch to seal. Place the filled packet in the mold, gently pressing to fit. Invert and remove the mold.
接著用手掌將面團(tuán)碾開形成一個(gè)小窩，把一份餡料放入面團(tuán)中間，將面團(tuán)邊緣合起來包住餡料，捏緊封口。將包好的月餅放入模具中，小心地將其擠壓進(jìn)去，然后將模具倒過來把成型的月餅倒出來。

Dilute red food coloring with water and pour onto a damp paper towel on a plate. Take some food coloring onto the cookie-design stamp, then press on top of the mooncake.
Repeat process for remaining mooncakes. Arrange mooncakes on a baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool before serving.
將紅色食用色素加水稀釋后倒在鋪有濕紙巾的盤子里，在烤餅干專用印章上面沾上食用色素，然后將印章蓋在月餅表面。重復(fù)以上做月餅的步驟把其它月餅做好。將做好的月餅擺在烘烤盤上，350度的溫度烘烤20分鐘。最后將烤好的月餅冷卻就大功告成啦。
