Tart Tekan (Pineapple Tarts)

 Not many people dislike Pineapple Tarts in this region..... agree? It is synonym for all festive season in Malaysia irrespective of races and celebrations. So do my families.... hubby & all my children love it and it always the first cookies to clear every time I made it for festive celebration. This time I made a small batch just for our family consumption and gave away little bit to some friends.

There are varieties of shapes but commonly with pineapple jam filling. This time I made them into tiny square pieces with crispy pastry. I added some ghee to the dough for richer and fragrant pastry.... whilst the margarine stabilises the dough and yields crispy effect.... awesome!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Tart Tekan ni lebih mudah nak buat di bandingkan dengan Tart Rolls seperti yg Along buat sebelum ni. Along dapat idea nak buat bentuk camni selepas makan tart nenas yg kawan beli dari Taiwan.... pastry nya rangup sangat & Along pun teruja nak buat sendiri.... Along tambahkan minyak sapi untuk dapatkan pastri yg lemak harum dan juga majerin supaya pastri lebih rangup... berbeda dgn tart roll yg pastri nya lebih gebu. Along buat satu portion jer kali ni sebab buat kerja sorang2 tak larat nak gentel banyak2.... dapat juga kasi kawan2 merasa sorang sikit... ikut rezeki siapa yg langkah kanan lah kan..... hehee.... Kawan2 lain yg tak merasa tu , tunggu lah next round pula ya.
