Pineapple Roll

This recipe came with the roller which has grooves so that when rolled in a checkered pattern will give the finished result looking sort of like the pineapple. Before the recipe which is in a tiny piece of paper is thrown away, i had better post it as the pastry turned out very well. For the benefit of those who would like to try an easy recipe for the new year, there is still time to make these.

125 gm butter
30 gm icing sugar
220gm all purpose flour(remove 2 tbsp and replace with cornflour)

Method:

Cream butter with icing sugar until light.

Add in egg yolk and vanilla and cream until combine.

Add in the flour and mix into a dough.

Roll out dough to 5mm thickness using grooving rolling pin to get a striped pattern, then roll diagonally to form checked pattern.

Cut into strips, turn pattern over, fill the initial section with pineapple jam, roll pastry over and trim off. Repeat.
