Mooncakes!

This is also known as Haz's Chinese Baking Adventure.
My first time through, it took me forever (I mean over seven hours) to go through the whole process. I thought Project Mooncakes was doomed, but I stuck it out and improvised. I even had enough leftover filling to go through it for a second run, which was much faster.
WARNING: Even though I've cut hours off of the process, you should plan to have at least six hours to blow when going through this your first time.
That being said, I've included the "haz ways" of doing things, which usually differ greatly from the original recipe.
( As usual, illustrated )
They're really tasty. And rewarding after all that hard work. You'll probably end up with extra azuki paste, and if so, try making cookies or other pastries with it. I just made more moon cakes. xD
Enjoy!
