Chinese New Year - Pineapple tarts


Hello. For my family, we celebrate Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. Every year i will make pineapple tarts which recipe is from Phoon Huat. I like the crust taste as it uses custard powder and milk powder to give this extra rich milky taste. Very easy to make and you can get the ingredients from phoon huat's outlet http://www.phoonhuat.com/

1) 6 egg yolks
2) 1kg cake flour
3) 150g milk powder
4) 75g custard powder
5) 10g vanilla powder
6) 20-60g sugar
7) 750g salted butter (melt at room tempt)
8) 2 packs of PhoonHuat Pineapple paste

Steps:
1) Mix all ingredients. Knead into dough. Chill in fridge.
2) Wrap the pineapple paste (Red Man brand, Phoon Huat) with chilled dough.
3) Coat the tarts with egg yolk.
4) Bake at 150-180oC for 20-25 min.

PS: One pack of pineapple paste can make about 100 balls of pineapple tarts.
