Authentic Nyonya Pineapple Tarts

Home baked Nyonya Pineapple Tarts are buttery, tender and melt-in-the-mouth texture. It’s a must have during the Chinese New Year celebrations as it symbolize wealth and prosperity.
Ingredients:
• 500gm all-purpose flour.
• 250gm butter or margarine at room temperature.
• 4 beaten eggs yolk & ½ egg white.
• 80ml water.
• ¼ tsp salt (optional).
• 900gm Pineapple Jam.
* approximately for 60-70pcs of Pineapple Tarts of medium size.
Preparations
Pastry dough:
• Mix flour, butter & salt in a large mixing bowl.
• User fingers to rub the mixture till it become crumbly.
• Add in beaten eggs & water, lightly knead to form soft dough (avoid over knead the dough as it will become elastic due to temperature of our palms.
• Cover dough & rest for 15-20mins
• Put aside 50-60gm of dough for making the strips (lattice).
Moulding the base of the tarts:
• Roll half of the dough on plastic sheet, then over turn & remove plastic sheet.
• Roll again the dough into a flatten sheet with a thickness of ½ cm.
• Use a metal or plastic mould, press into the flatten dough & slightly turn clockwise & lift the mould.
• Remove shaped dough from mould & place on baking tray.
• Repeat till the tray is full.
Filling Pineapple Jam to the base:
• Scoop some jam & roll into the size of a ball (approximately 12-13gm).
• Gently tap the surface of the jam ball to fill into the cavity.
Cutting the strips (Lattice) with plastic jelly cutter:
• Roll 20gm of dough into a very thin flat sheet.
• Divide it into 2-4 parts, approximately 4cm in width.
• Cut it into strips horizontally.
• Arrange 2 strips on the jam surface & 2 more across the previous 2 strips. Gently tap the lattice to give evenly look.
Baking:
• Preheat oven at 170⁰c & bake for 20mins to half bake the tarts.
• Remove half-baked tarts and let it cool down.
• Egg wash all the half-baked tarts.
• Bake again for 15mins at 170⁰c.
• Remove from oven fully baked tarts that are golden brown in color, leave to cool down before serving/storage.

thank you so much for this amazing video. i have a question: i noticed the dough is too soft to be able to have the lattice cut with the shape intact. am i doing something wrong?

[@nyonyamelakaflavours3316]

Hi, mix some flour & water to create a workable dough to mix with the existing dough if its too soft. Sometimes if the eggs are big it will affect the dough consistency, so you have to adjust the water ratio if thats the case ya!

[@alanhomecooking_recipe]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. However I have a question. In your demo, I dun see you using the water for the dough, therefore do we need the water, if yes, put in the water before or after the egg? Kindly advise 🙏🏻🙏🏻
