Ingredients:

For the Pineapple Filling:

2 cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped or grated 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon cornstarch For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 egg yolk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Instructions:

Prepare the Pineapple Filling:

In a saucepan, combine the chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is softened and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the pineapple mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Make the Dough:

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Assemble the Pineapple Cakes:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each dough ball with your palms to form a small disc. Place a teaspoon of the cooled pineapple filling in the center of each disc. Gently fold the dough around the filling to enclose it completely, shaping it into a small square or rectangle. Place the filled pineapple cakes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cake. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cakes turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and Enjoy:

Once cooled, your homemade Taiwanese Pineapple Cakes are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy these sweet and aromatic treats with a cup of tea or coffee. super mario bros
