    The mooncake crust is too hard because the oil is too little during the production process or the heat is not well controlled during baking. If mooncakes are baked for too long, the moisture in them will evaporate, and ingredients such as flour will dry out, and mooncakes may become hard. If oil is added, the skin of the baked mooncake will be golden and soft, and if water is added, the baked mooncake will become harder and harder.
