| Pineapple Jam for Tart |
For Dough:
- 160gm butter (room temperature)
- 52 gm sugar
- 2.5 tsp curd
- 3.5 tsp whipping cream (52.5gm)
- 2 big egg yolks
- 265gm plain flour
- 26 gm corn flour
Procedure:
Preparing pineapple jam takes more time in whole process. Although this jam can stay for long time in fridge as it is cooked with sugar. Once Jam is ready your more than half work is complete.
Steps to prepare pineapple jam which will be used for filling:
- Cut the pineapples into small pieces or you can use grinder to make pineapple paste.
- Put the paste in the non-stick pan with sugar and cinnamon stick.
- Let the solution boil at low flame. Pineapple will ooze out all water from it. Sugar will also extract water from pineapple. Let the solution boil at low flame so that all water evaporates. Don't forget to stir at regular intervals to avoid sticking at bottom of pan.

| Jam Preparation: no water added |
Steps to prepare dough for filling:
- Beat the butter, sugar, curd together. Add whipping cream with medium level. Add egg yolk and beat again.
- Sieve the flour and add into the mixture.
- Use hands to knead the dough slowly. Don't knead dough for longer as it will get harder.
- Use cling film to wrap the dough and keep it in the chiller at least 30mins to set the dough. So that you can easily work with the dough.
- Divide the dough into small balls.
- Make the dough flat and put filling in the middle and create the round/rectangle cookies as your wish. Don't put too much fillings as it will break the dough. I often divide 20gm dough with as much as fillings you want but not too much as tart will be broken while baking.
- Eggwash the cookies before baking. It will give nice golden color to cookies.
Glazing: 1 egg yolk + 2 tsp milk, mix properly to create solution sticky like paste.
With eggwash, tart will look more tempting.
Preheat the oven to 175degree celsius and put the prepared tart inside it. Wait for 15-20 minutes and our tart is ready.
- Baking time 15-20mins @ 175celcius.
Cooking is not only preparing amazing dishes but also inspiring others to cook.
