Authentic Nyonya Pineapple Tarts (First trial)

1 January 2009 dans Baking, CNY Tarts, Cookies RSS 2.0.

Bingo!! I got them so right again for the first trial. These delicious tarts even look so good my Rackmount monitor

Chinese New Year is around the corner again. And since I have a big oven now, surely must bake my own cookies this year, right? One delicacy that must not be missed during CNY is of course my favourite Pineapple Tart.

Using homemade pineapple jam by Miche’s mum, I try to bake some Nyonya Pineapple Tarts today. For the pastry I used only

flour (150g)
Planta (about 100g)
1 egg yolk (I added also some white)
salt to taste

With the ingredients above, I could make about 20 tarts. Reason I bake so little is that I want to test my oven. I preheated my oven at 170C degree for 10mins and bake them (placing in the middle rack) for about 15mins.

Tomorrow I shall bake another batch. Guess what, I am going to add some lard into my pastry, hopefully able to get the original Nyonya taste Pineapple Tarts, just like how they did it during the olden days.
