  1. So this recipe is missing a lot of the instructions, such as blending the filling in a food processor, reserving some of the chopped candied wintermelon for the filling after blending, and laminating the layers of oil and water dough (think viennoiserie, although instructions for lpb are typically to make circles and roll up instead of rectangles and letter-fold). Even as an ingredient list, though I found that the filling, even after food processing, was very wet, and resulted in a lot of leaky cakes and heart break.
