It turns out that the secret ingredient in the pastry is full cream milk powder! As for shaping, I should have guessed – the filled pastry is pressed into a mould. I was also intrigued by how the thin pastry is wrapped around the filling in a perfectly shaped square. The crust was particularly tender and flavourful. I became interested in learning to make pineapple cakes after tasting some utterly delicious ones made by a friend. The third Chinese word in the name of these treats, 酥, is a generic term for pastries with a high fat content, whether the pastry is flaky or short, baked or deep fried. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the immense popularity of these cakes in Taiwan. In Hokkien, a widely spoken Chinese dialect in Taiwan, pineapple has the same pronunciation as “luck arrives” 運來. If you have brought back pineapple cakes from your trip to Taiwan for friends and family, you have not only given them something delicious to eat but also your wishes for good luck. The pineapple filling is sometimes embellished with nuts, sometimes with morsels of salted egg yolk – probably an acquired taste! The pineapple cakes are usually packaged individually and sold in beautiful, sturdy gift boxes for safe transport. As such, Taiwanese pineapple cakes fall somewhere between a filled cookie or biscuit and a hand pie not what we commonly think of as cake. Pineapple cakes are typically square or rectangular, with a jammy pineapple filling encased in a tender short crust pastry. Glass jars with bright colored candy also helps to stand up lollipops and cake pops.Visitors to Taiwan will likely have enjoyed pineapple cakes 鳳梨酥, which are widely sold and enjoyed throughout the year.
