Yes, I'm making pineapple tart from scratch..If I live in Asia I'm sure I won't make the filling myself..There are plenty of bakery store who just sell the yummy-delicious premium pineapple filling at reasonable price.Again if I live in Asia maybe I won't even bake any Chinese New Year cookies myself..I heard there are plenty of people go around sell Chinese New Years cookies for this festival.Even my mom bought her Chinese New Year cookies from the seller all over the place..It's certainly save time and energy..The price and quality of this cookies is quite reasonable and good! Few days ago I make the pineapple filling in advance check it out here!!
Ingredients:
Dough adapted from Mat Gebu
400 gm all purpose flour
50 gm custard powder
230 gm unsalted butter,softened
2 eggs yolk
50 gm sugar powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg yolk + + tbsp water for brushing
For the filling:
Method:
1:Combine all purpose flour and custard powder in a medium bowl,sifted.Use mixer to beat butter and sugar powder at medium high speed until light and frosty.Add in yolk and vanilla essence,whisk until well mix.
2:Reduce speed to low ,slowly add in the flour mixture into the eggs mixture.Increase speed and beat until well combine.
3:Remove dough from the mixer,knead few times before use a clean wet cloth to cover to prevent it from drying.
4:Use your favourite pineapple tart mould to shape your tart..For me I use pineapple tart look like rolling pin with lines to shape the tarts.Cut the dough about 3 inch x 1 1/2 inch.Scoop 1 tsp filling to wrap with the dough.
5:Prepare silpat or parchment paper over baking sheet.Line up all the shape tarts in baking sheets about 1 inch apart each others..Brush yolk mixture over the tarts before place in oven
6:Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.Remove tarts from oven,let's it cool 3-5 minutes in the baking sheets before remove to wire rack to cool completely.Save tarts in air tight container.

Mmm...my favourite cookies.
I too just finished baking my tarts. It is a lot of work from pineapple jam to the tarts when you have to do it yourself. Back home I always have my nieces to help me. No choice lah as I won't be CNY without this :)
