These are NO store bought Taiwanese Pineapple Cake.lol! These are 100% homemade Taiwanese pineapple cake. They're all nicely wrapped and ready to be sent out later on. :o) Any of you have yet tried Taiwanese pineapple cake before!!!! Then you should give this a go. The cookie crust is nice & tender, exactly like one of those store bought ones. At the same time, not forgetting to thank the person whom gifted me this lovely mini size mooncake mould. Simply adored it! The shape is very pretty. Thanks, dear.
So, here's the recipe.
Ingredients for dough :
300gm butter, softened
100gm sugar
2 eggs
300gm all purpose flour
1/2 tspn baking soda
50ml water
*Homemade pineapple fillings
Method :
(1) combine flour and baking soda in a big bowl, set aside.
(2) in another bowl, add together butter, sugar and eggs then beat till well combined.
(3) now, stir the butter mixture into dry ingredients and mix well.
(4) finally, add in water little by little till well combined and set aside for 30 mins.
(5) divide pineapple filling into 10gm each and dough into 30gm each.
(6) wrap fillings with dough and seal nicely, both the dough & filling are very soft so must handle with care.
(7) then slightly coat dough with 'koh fun' (cooked glutinous rice flour) and stamp each with a mould or any shape as desired.
(8) bake them at preheated oven 150'C for about 20 mins.
It turns out just the way I want it! The colour looks just fine, lightly brown.
And the fillings fit in perfectly too! I tried double up the filling but it doesn't came out right. Then have to go back to 10gm again. Whateverso, I bet you won't stop at one. I ate three in one go.
HAHAHA..... Enjoy & have fun, guys!
