Ingredients for Pineapple Biscuits:

 

For the Dough:

• 1 cup of melted butter
• ½ cup of powdered sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• ¼ teaspoon of liquid vanilla (or powdered vanilla if liquid is not available)
• 2½ cups of all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons of powdered milk

For the Filling:

• 1 can of crushed pineapple
• ½ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the Egg Wash:

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon of milk
• ¼ teaspoon of liquid vanilla

Steps to Prepare Pineapple Biscuits:

1. Preparing the Baking Tray:
   Line a rectangular or square baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

2. Making the Dough:
   In a stand mixer, combine the melted butter and powdered sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue mixing, then add the vanilla and mix for a few more seconds. Gradually add the flour, salt, cornstarch, and powdered milk, and mix on low speed until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

3. Preparing the Filling:
   In a medium-sized pot, combine the crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, then cover the pot and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the pineapple turns a deep golden color. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

4. Shaping the Biscuits:
   Take a small portion of dough and shape it into a small, round disc. Place a little bit of the cooled pineapple filling in the center, then fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form an oval-shaped biscuit. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.

5. Decorating the Biscuits:
   Using the edge of a knife, lightly score decorative lines on each biscuit for a beautiful appearance.

6. Making the Egg Wash:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash.

7. Baking the Biscuits:
   Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, until the biscuits turn light golden.

8. Cooling and Serving:
   Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack using a wide metal spatula and let them cool completely. Arrange them on a serving plate and serve.

Your pineapple biscuits are now ready to be enjoyed! These delightful treats are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
