Preparation time: Cooking time: Total time: Yield: 40 tarts
Ingredients
300g of soft unsalted butter
15g of powdered sugar
4 egg yolks
1 egg white
550g of all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
520g of pineapple stuffing
30ml of water
Equipment
Oven
Electronic kitchen scale for weighing
1 baking sheet
1 small bowl
1 large bowl
1 cooling rack
1 whisk
1 brush
Directions
Add unsalted butter and powdered sugar into a large bowl and whisk well until they turn light in colour.
Add egg yolks and egg whites into the bowl and continue to mix well.2
Add sifted all-purpose flour and salt.
Knead with your fingers until a dough is formed and continue to knead for 30 to 60 seconds. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the pineapple stuffing into balls, 4 grams each.
After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 7 grams of small dough and roll it into a ball.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Wrap the pineapple filling in the dough ball. Roll out the outer skin into a ball, lightly press out a hole with your fingers, and put the pineapple filling in.
Close the shape and wrap the filling into a ball. Make sure the surface is smooth, and at the same time, there should be no leakage of the filling; otherwise, it will break.
Grease a baking sheet and arrange the dough balls on the baking sheet. Each interval should be about 1cm.
Beat egg yolks and add water into a small bowl, use a brush to dab the mixture on the surface of the dough balls.
Put them in the oven for 20 minutes.
Take the tarts out and brush with the egg wash again. Place back in the oven for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking, then serve on a plate. Enjoy!
Quick tip
If you want a good-looking pineapple tart, make sure the outer skin is not too thin because it may crack during the baking process.
