I made these again for CNY this year as it is such a breeze to make. Unlike the traditional open face tarts that you either need to crimp the tart pastries or slowly mould the pineapple to fit the hollow of the tarts, these Blossom Pineaapple Tarts are really quick to make.
Since last year, I have been receiving emails on and off from visitors to my blog asking if I needed a special mould to make them. Nope! I don't! I just cut the pastries with a petal cutter (I use the rose cutter from the Wilton sugarpaste cutter set) and then put a ball of pineapple jam onto the centre of the pastry and place it into the paper cases for baking. It couldn't be easier. Aren't they pretty. I have made a short video to show how easy it is to shape the tarts. Here is is:
Told you it was simple right?
The second cookie I made was a Cheesy Bak Kwa Buttons. Using the same shortcrust pastry recipe from the pineapple tarts, I added grated cheddar cheese, chopped bak kwa (barbequed meat) and some black and white pepper to the dough. These were shaped into tiny marble-sized balls and then flatten with the prongs of fork before baking.
What can I say? Ummmh...yummy yummy!

Thank you so much for the video! I think I waited 2 yrs for this tip. Super thanks! Too late for me to do this year, but will surely do it next year. Gong Xi Fa Cai to you & your family.

Tqvm, been searching high and low for this recipe. My sis always buys from this lady at RM28/- per box! Still in CNY mood, will try to make a batch :)
Hi, I'm interested in your cheesy bak kwa buttons, may I know if you need to reduce flour/butter for the addtional cheese added? And when do you add in the additional ingredients (cheese, bak kwa and pepper)? Thanks! MH
Hi MH
I modified the recipe from Nastar, an Indonesian pineapple tarts that has cheese in the pastry by just adding bakwa and sifting the pepper with the flour. The bak kwa was added just before the flour.
