One tip I can give you is to use low-gluten flour or cake flour for a tender crust. Aside from that, I suggest using golden syrup to add sweetness and color to the dough, and lye water to get a perfect texture for the mooncake skin.

For perfect mooncakes, use a high-quality pastry, fill them generously with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients, and press the edges firmly together to prevent leakage.
