Pineapple Tart

Makes about 24 pieces :)



Ingredients:

Pineapple Jam
150-160 grams of butter (if you're using unsalted butter then put about 1/4 tsp of salt)
200 grams of flour
2 medium egg yolks
45 grams of icing sugar
2 tbsp of cornflour

Preparing to roll my pineapple tarts. The Jam is
filled inside the dough.


Assembling them for baking

I used a scissors to create a 'pineapply' look

Because I didn't have a soft brush, the result was
pressed in unevenly washed pineapple tart :(.


Method:
  • Beat butter and icing sugar until fluffy
  • Add one yolk at a time incorporating it to the butter mixture
  • Finally mix cornflour+flour mixture and blend well
  • Depending on the shape of the tart you can either use a mould or individually make them into little pineapples. 
  • To make them into little pineapples, shape them into a slight oblong shape, use a sharp and tiny scissors to cut into the dough to create pineapple spikes.
  • Brush egg wash over the little pineapples and bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes at 180 °C
