Published Feb 22, 2021 Updated Nov 11, 2024 Pineapple tarts are a must-bake for the celebration of Chinese New Year in Malaysia and Singapore. In Taiwan, pineapple shortcakes (凤梨酥) are popular but Taiwanese pineapple tarts recipe calls for shortening and milk powder. They taste slightly different but equally delicious. My absolute favorite is Malaysian pineapple tarts. They are so tasty, addictive, buttery and melt-in-the-mouth. I have a few favorite recipes, but I always come back to this recipe that I have learned from Fresh from the Oven.
