pineapple tarts

i'm back...
after 4 days in KKB...not a very good experience =( the place was so hot.. and i did more walking than ever...actually its not that far from the girls's dorm to the town. we even walked all the way to the guy's house with torchlights. ate bread for breakfast everyday and the canteen food is barely edible.yuck.the only proper meal was dinner..also the first time i tried wild boar curry. first day i couldn't even sleep until 3 something and the next morning i was so groggy. slept better the second day but the last night was just.... well..i created some "drama"....nevermind

comming back home was so so nice. i got my bed..my bolster my comforter and my baybee...and the TV! and mummy's home-cooked food. three days in KKB got me sooo homesick >.< *i better toughen up*

then the next day...wah...no time to rest also...we had comm med. very dry. ethics and law. kinda scary also to know that so many things can be used against us. getting sued..negligence and stuff like that *shudders* and we had to prepare a presentation based on a case study..in ONE day. argh~

ok...back to the title of this post..
PINEAPPLE ROLLS!
a must-have for my Chinese new years =)

ingredients
150 g butter
100g margarine
75g icing sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp salt

(sift together)
350g plain flour
50g corn flour

glaze:
egg yolk, beaten

filling:
get the ready made ones from ingredient shops. making your own is just too tedious for me!

method...
1. preheat oven at 180 Celsius. grease baking tray with butter
2. cream butter, sugar and margarine till light. beat egg yolks, one at a time. add vanilla and salt and beat until fluffy.
3. fold in sifted ingredients and mix into a firm dough.
4. put dough through a mould (can get in ingredient shop or some supermarkets) and press out into a strip about 6-7cm. place a pineapple jam roll (the filling) at the end and roll up the pastry. cut off the excess pastry..
5. put the rolls on the tray and brush with egg glaze lightly.
6. bake at 180 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown
