How to make Matcha mooncake with snow skin:

1 Mix together glutinous rice flour, rice flour, wheat starch, matcha powder, and icing sugar. Add in milk, and mix until smooth. Add in cooking oil, and mix until combined. Sieve mixture into an oil-coated heat-resistant bowl. (Reminder: You may increase the amount of cooking oil to 30 g, the hardening of snow skin will be slower if it is oilier.)
