I have this hate-love feeling with pineapple rolls/tarts from my past experiences in baking them:
1. the pastry is too soft to handle even after refrigerating, by the time i manage to encase the fillings into the pastry, it has started to melt and after baking they went out of shape.
2. when the pastry is easy to handle the taste and texture is not what i want, either they are too sweet or too milky and not those melty kind.
Then i found this recipe! the dough is easy to handle, no refrigeration needed and they are very very melty look at the photos and you will know what i meant.
The pastry falls apart the moment i cut it open even my mum who doesn't eat cny goodies commented that it's very melty! and she also say its not sweet! if you have not started baking your pineapple rolls/tarts perhaps you wana give this recipe a go.
I'm submitting this to the Aspiring Bakers #3 My Favorite CNY Cookie. Details can be found here.
Pineapple Rolls
(adapted and modified from QBB website)
Ingredients
Bake King ready made pineapple paste, rolled in balls (i scoop the paste with a tsp and roll into balls)
250g QBB
50g icing sugar (reduced to 30g)
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla essence (omitted)
1/4 tsp salt (omitted)
350g top flour
50g corn flour
1 egg yolk - for glazing
1/4 tsp salt - for glazing
1 tsp water - for glazing
Method
- Using a hand whisk, cream QBB and sugar until light. Whisk in egg yolks 1 at a time until well combined. Add essence and salt and whisk until fluffy.
- Sift top flour and corn flour together and fold into the QBB mixture to form a soft dough.
- Divide dough using a tsp and roll into balls.
- Flatten a piece of dough and place a piece of the roll pineapple paste in the middle. Bring the edges of the dough together and press lightly to seal. Roll it in between your palms to shape it into a roll.
- Place rolls on baking tray lined with parchment paper or paper casing.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk, salt and water together for the glaze.
- Brush the glaze on the pineapple rolls with a brush.
- Bake in preheated over of 180C and bake for 20-25 mins or until the rolls are pale golden brown.
- Cool on wired rack before storing in airtight container.

Jess, you baked so many cookies and I am wondering, how many more coming up :P. I have not baked any yet except for the coconut cookies, I am trying to squeeze sometimes to bake one more cookies to give you more support, hopefully will b able to make time to bake pineapple tarts.
lol! Jess if time permits maybe there will be more hahaha! am i supporting myself too much? hehe thanks for your support! awaiting your post!
I do agree that it is so difficult to get the right kind of pastry to achieve the best texture in these lovely little pineapple tarts. Nice to know that you have found one. I would love to bookmark this and make this too...Thanks for sharing :D
Which did you use? QBB ghee or clarified butter?
Zoe thanks can't wait to see your post on this! hehe! i used QBB ghee, you are able to get the clarified butter on your side???? maybe you wana try using both?
Oh you used ghee for the crust.
It will definately make it very melty!!
Wendy i was guessing its the ghee and not the corn flour! guess i was right!
I always wonder how it taste to use ghee instead of butter for pineapple tarts. Other than melty does it taste buttery too? Btw you are really enjoying your CNY bakes ya...lol!
j3ss, i will definitely try this "Super Melty Pineapple Rolls"!!...so hard to get a good recipe for Pineapple Rolls,thanks for sharing, cheers!

Gosh, really looks melty, Jess. Now I know what's QBB. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
edith haha use it for both! you will love it!
Cheah thanks and you are most welcome!
Hi~ May I know top flour is referring to low protein flour? or superfine flour? Thanks.
Hi Fiona, top flour can be considered superfine flour. You able to find the flour brand Prima on your side? if you can, they have top flour hope this helps you. happy baking!
I am not really sure, but I try to find it first…Thanks for your help :)
Fiona, if you can't get the top flour, just substitute with superfine flour or plain flour let me know the results =)

The song 'goodbye' is playing right now as i'm typing this..its kind like making my heart aches, i dont know why but i'm not critising yr blog, dont get me wrong, it's a nice song, maybe i just got carried away..

Great looking pineapple tarts, a must hv for CNY ^_^
You inspire me to bake the pineapple tarts. Will bake it tomorrow. Btw, can I keep it for more than a week?
Bernice haha thanks!
Esther thank you!
annoymonous yes you can keep more then a week store in air tight container
For Malaysians and Singaporeans, you can never go wrong with pineapple tarts especially during CNY ... Yours look good!
Jess, yours look very melt-in-the-mouth too. Is the texture more of a powdery kind or crisp kind of melt-in-the-mouth?
Pei-lin true true hee thanks!
KWF thank you! hmmm i would say its a combination in between! it taste good though albeit salty like what you prefer =D
yum! i think i had this in taiwan! I;m delicious!
Love the festive background and who can resist melty pineapple tarts/rolls? Ghee makes most food taste food - that's why I love Indian food.

Really want to try this one, I love to eat it when I was a kid (a long time ago), ^^.
Hi there, tried your recipe tdy and it was....."HEAVEN"!!!! My son couldn't stop chomping them! Tks for your recipe.
ooh this is a first time i've seen ghee in a pineapple tart cookie! does it taste like suji cookies? :) definitely something i'll bookmark to try sometime this week!!
Pook, please try!
Anonymous, glad you and your son love it!
Janine doesn't taste like sugi cookies but these taste good all the same hehe!
Hi, thanks for sharing..
If we use plain flour alone,can? And Can we use this for open faced tarts instead?
ha you are most welcome! you can just substitute with plain flour if you want. i have not tried using this for open face tart because the dough is quite soft it's not advisable to use it for open face tarts.
