The dough comprises the following ingredients by weight: wheat flour 48.43%, salt 0.23%, white sugar 8.64%, fructooligosaccharides 4.76%, humectant 3.61%, drinking water 24.53%, edible oil 9.48%, and potassium sorbate 0.32%. The shortening comprises the following ingredients by weight: wheat flour 69.83% and edible oil 34.98%. The filling comprises the following ingredients by weight: unsalted butter 2.44%, walnuts 12.04%, wheat flour 11.23%, salt 0.38%, red bean paste 19.09%, white sugar 8.52%, soybean oil 7.74%, pine nuts 12.47%, macadamia nuts 16.89%, rose petal paste 7.73%, and fructooligosaccharides 1.46%. The dusting flour is wheat flour.

[0005] The wheat flour mentioned is Red Hummingbird brand wheat flour and Core 187 wheat flour.

[0006] The humectant mentioned is a pastry freezing humectant.

[0007] The cooking oil mentioned is Qiaobingjia's premium oil specifically for shortcrust pastry.

[0008] A method for preparing Suzhou-style ghee-based mooncakes, characterized by the following steps: S1, Sift the wheat flour; S2, First stage of skin preparation: Sifted wheat flour, salt, white sugar, fructooligosaccharides, and potassium sorbate are added to a mixing tank and stirred slowly until the powder is evenly mixed. During this process, 2.2±0.1 kg of drinking water is gradually added to adjust the softness and hardness of the skin. Stir slowly, add humectant and stir slowly until it forms a ball, thus obtaining material A. S3, Second stage of dough making: Add the relaxed material A, adjust the mixing speed to fast, and mix. Gradually add the remaining drinking water during the process until the dough has a certain elasticity and can be stretched into a thin film. Then add the cooking oil and mix well to make the oil dough. S4. Mix the sifted wheat flour in a dough mixer for 10-15 minutes until it forms a uniform block, thus creating an oil-based dough. S5, the oil-free butter needs to be taken out one day in advance to thaw at room temperature and used on the same day after softening; S6. Weigh the walnuts, place them on a baking tray, spread them out, and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes. After baking, flip the tray over and bake in the oven until fragrant. After baking, let them cool naturally to room temperature and set aside. S7. Put some wheat flour into a cotton bag, tie it, steam it in a steamer for 4-5 hours, take it out and crush it, cool it to room temperature, and crush it into powder with a crusher to make cooked flour. S8, add softened unsalted butter, salt, red bean paste, and white sugar and mix well. Slowly pour in soybean oil all at once and mix well. Add some walnuts, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, and rose petal paste and mix slightly. Then add fructooligosaccharides and some cooked powder and mix slightly. Use a scraper to mix by hand for 2 rounds to obtain material B. S9, feed material B into the hopper of the filling machine / dividing machine to divide it; S10: Place the oil dough and the shortcrust pastry dough in the operating table and hopper of the shortcrust pastry machine respectively, adjust the equipment, wrap the pastry according to a certain ratio, and ensure that the pastry is wrapped evenly, then shape, flatten and divide. S11. Take the divided oil dough and wrap it around the oil filling. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of wheat flour evenly on the work surface. Roll the dough by hand with a rolling pin to a length of 7-8cm and roll it into a cylinder. Roll it out again with the smooth side down, and roll it into a cylinder again. Let it rest for 1 minute before using. S12, wrap the filling in the relaxed oil dough and wrap the oil-based dough to make a raw dough, using cooked flour when wrapping; S13. The wrapped dough is conveyed to the forming machine for molding and shaping. Excess flour on the surface of the dough is brushed off. The shape of the dough should be round. S14, take an empty baking tray and invert it onto the baking tray containing the mooncakes. Flip the two baking trays horizontally 180° and remove the upper baking tray. S15. After the mooncakes are cooled and placed in trays in the cooling zone, they are inspected by a metal detector and then packaged by an automatic packaging machine.

[0009] The ratio of oil to shortening is 14:13.

[0010] In step S15, the temperature of the cooling center is ≤35℃.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a Suzhou-style flaky mooncake and its preparation method. By reducing the amount of oil and sugar used and enriching the filling, the flavor of Suzhou-style mooncake is improved and is loved by consumers. Detailed Implementation Example
