Making mini traditional mooncakes:
Divide rested mooncake dough into 12 portions (30 g each).
Divide Durian Mung Bean Paste filling into 12 portions (45 g each). (Reminder: Cover the paste to prevent it from drying.)
Flatten mooncake dough into round shape with a plate, put durian paste in the center, fully wrap the paste with dough. Press until firm, shape gently into a ball, then coat outer layer with some flour.
Arrange filled dough on a lined baking tray, print the pattern with small mooncake mould (75-g size).
Spray the mooncakes with water just before baking. (Reminder: Spray with water will prevent mooncakes from cracking when baked.)
Bake in preheated oven at 160°C/320°F for 18 minutes. Set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.
After resting for 24 hours, the skin of the mooncakes will become soft.
