Nope.. it&#8217;s not the first time we r baking them .. we baked them last yr too.. maybe coz I only bake them once a year.. I got quite rusty \ud83d\ude41 The day before, I&#8217;ll mk the pineapple paste. However, the paste didn&#8217;t turn out well \ud83d\ude41 I was very upset but I pluck up all my courage and redid it from scratch again. Yes! It turned out very well the 2nd time \ud83d\ude42 Happy but tired! <\/p>\n<p>The following day, I attempted to mk the pastry (dough). Somehow, the dough didn&#8217;t turned out well though I did everything the same way!!! \ud83d\ude41 I was soo disapted and wanted to throw the dough away&#8230; I attribute all these &#8216;failures&#8217; to omens that it is gonna be a bad year. Just when I was so upset and frustrated.. BH came to my rescue! He was like ( not like he&#8217;s an expert! I mean.. usually, I do all the preparation and he&#8217;ll just do the assembling part) &#8221; just add more water.. it&#8217;s too dry &#8221; I was in absolute sadness and convinced that everything is gonna go downhill&#8230; so I just let BH play with the dough&#8230; BH did a fast search online and did his magic ( put water in dough) and&#8230;.. lo and behold&#8230;.. he made the crumbs stick!! I&#8217;m just so glad that he was around.. I would have gave up and threw everything away!!! \ud83d\ude42 The point is&#8230;. PINEAPPLE TARTS were sucessfully made and it taste better than the past year&#8217;s! As a result, I rewrote the recipe so that in future&#8230; I&#8217;ll refer to my own <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.madefreshtoday.com\/?p=1469\">PINEAPPLE TARTS recipe<\/a>! \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n<p>Thank you BH for your support and encouragement!
