Pineapple Tart aka Nastar ( first attempt)

It's been a while since my last blogs ( 2 years ) and you know whatttt...everything has changed a lot since that time :)

My last blog was about proposal and now thank God I'm MARRIED yayyyyy!!!

Suddenly I remember about this blog and I thought google might delete this account if too long being neglected hahahaha :D

So ever since I got married, I learned how to cook a lot ( my mom said it is very shameful if as a girl I cannot cook). On this blog, I will share you my first attempt in making Pineapple Tart aka Nastar.
As an inexperience beginner it turns quite good and I'm quite satisfied with the result.
I found a good talented mommy on instagram (check IG @tintinrayner). She  is very popular with her baking experiment and I really like how she presents and explains about her cooks.
Honestly I want to try the exact ingredients according to her recipe, unfortunately I don't have enough ingredients on my fridge. It's OK I still can manage to modify a bit with the recipe.

Here is the recipe ( inspired by tintinrayner's but modified by me)

for the dough:
3 yolks
250gr flour
100gr corn flour
100gr castor sugar
50gr milk powder
35gr grated cheese
150gr butter ( I use salted butter)
100gr margarine
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder

for the egg wash:
1 yolk
1/2 teaspoon of condense milk ( you can add honey to make the color even brighter)

for fillings:
500 gr pineapple
150- 200gr sugar ( sweetness depending on your preference)
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon of clove powder

How to make the fillings:
1. Grate the pineapple
2. Pour grated pineapple on your pan and add sugar, cinnamon and clove powder


3. Cook it until all the water dries out and don't forget to always stir it (otherwise it will be burnt)


4. Put the jam in the fridge until it can be molded
5. Mold it with your hand into a small size like this (size shouldn't be too big). After molding I put it back in the fridge



How to make the tart:
1. Mix butter, margarine, sugar and vanilla powder, beat until soft
2. Add yolks and mix it well
3. Add grated cheese, mix it well
3. Gradually add flour and corn flour(which already shifted) , fold with your spatula ( I prefer knead it with my hands) until like dough form like below


4. Take the dough and roll it with your hands, gently press the middle dough with your thumb and add pineapple fillings. Enclose the dough and roll it into a ball shaped (do not touch it so much or the dough will easily cracked while baking)


5. Bake for 150 celcius 10 min (make sure to preheat the oven 10 minute before you bake something )

6. Brush the dough with  the egg wash. Below is before after egg wash



Look at that color!

7. Put it back into the oven and bake it for 150 celcius for 20-25 minutes until its color become golden brown and at this stage you can smell the aroomaaaaa ~~




In my opinion, the result turns well but still got cracked a bit. I guess I'll have to practice again one day :)
