~ Pineapple Tarts ~ Follow @autumn.kitchen in Instagram for variety recipes and tips Pineapple 🍍tarts are a must for Chinese New Year celebrations 🧧. It symbolises luck and continuation of prosperity. The pineapple tart comprises a rich buttery crust with a “melt in mouth” texture, encasing a core of sweet pineapple jam. I love to make the pineapple jam from scratch, but store bought jam works too. *Jam recipe* 2 medium ripe pineapples 2 cinnamon sticks 90g rock sugar (adjust to taste) Method ➡️ Remove the pineapple skin and core. Blend in food processor ➡️ Pour blended pineapple into a saucepan. Add cinnamon sticks and sugar ➡️ Cook over medium heat until the jam thickens. Leave to cool completely ➡️ Divide jam into 8g oblong shapes *Pastry crust recipe* 250g unsalted butter 370g All purpose flour 50g icing sugar 20g corn flour 2 egg yolks *Egg wash* 1 whole egg 1 yolk A few drips of oil Method ➡️ Beat butter and sieved icing sugar till smooth. Do not over beat. ➡️ Add the egg yolk and mix well ➡️ Add in the sieved all purpose flour + corn flour ➡️ Use spatula to fold, finishing by hand ➡️ use pineapple tart mould to pipe out the dough and wrap the pineapple jam in the middle ➡️ bake at 180C for 8 mins, remove from oven and egg wash ➡️ Bake for another 10 mins or until it is golden yellow #pineappletart #cnycookies #cny2023 #cnybaking #pineappletarts #pastry #meltinmouth #meltinmouthcookies #凤梨酥 #黄梨饼 #新年饼 - @autumn.kitchen
