♥ Ah Ma's Pineapple Tarts ♥


Friday, December 16, 2005

I made some Pineapple Tarts today using Grandma's age old recipe. Ahh, the same way my Ah Mah used to make it. Just like all those relatives who request Ah mah's Pineapple Tarts during CNY,I actually find that the crispy yet melt in the mouth Pineapple Tarts my grandma made taste so much better than any other renowned brand of pineaple tarts in the world. I pestered her to make them with me for the first and the last time last year just a few monthes before she passed away. Today, I made them alone all by myself... Memories of the kind, loving and ever so generous old lady flooded my mind... Yes..I do miss her... alot...




What you need:

(Pastry)
250 g Salted Butter (Melted to Room Temp.)
600 g Top or Chiffon Flour
7 Large Egg Yolks

(Pineapple Filling)
120g sugar to 1 pineapple.
Cinnamon Powder (optional).


Method:

Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
Sift flour 3 times & make a dip in the centre.
Pour melted butter into the dip. Slowly mix yolks into melted butter then to flour until dough becomes somewhat crumbly.
Knead well. Let rest for 5 -10 mins in a cool place.
Roll out to 3/4 inches and cut with Pineapple tart cutters.
Add Pineapple jam on top of the tarts and brush with egg wash.
Bake for 20 - 30 minutes till lightly golden.

Tips:
Pick pineapples that are not too ripe.
Grate and drain the pineapples and cook with sugar over low heat until it caramelises and dries up somewhat.
You will not be able to use the pineapple jam immediately as it will still be too wet to handle. But keep it in the fridge for one night it will dry sufficiently to be rolled into balls.
