Ingredients:

• 4-5 medium to large sized ripe pineapples

• 450 g Bob’s Red Mill 1-for-1 flour

• 280 g butter cut into small pieces and frozen. If unsalted, add 1 tsp of salt

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 3 tbsp ice water

Instructions:

Pineapple Filling

1. Remove outer skin and eyes of pineapple

2. Use a food processor, chop up pineapples, not too finely.

3. Place the chopped pineapple into a heavy pan. Bring pineapple to a boil and cook over medium heat while stirring frequently for about 3 hours until the pulp is dry and brown.

4. Chill the filling and roll into 9 gram balls. Keep leftover filling in the refrigerator in an airtight container. 

Pastry

1. In a food processor, pulse flour and frozen butter until it has a course sand like consistency.

2. Add eggs and ice water and mix into a dough. Pulse until combined.

3. The dough will not hold together at first, so work it till the butter has melted slightly and the dough is just intact.

4. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes. Leave 2 in the fridge as you roll out 1.

5. Use a small amount of BRM 1-1 flour or rice flour for rolling out the dough. 

6. Shape as desired. Glaze with egg. Bake in oven preheated at 160°C for 20 minutes.

Equipment:

A food processor is recommended. 

If you have a Thermomix, both pineapple filling and dough can be prepared in it.
