KUIH MAKMUR

Kuih Makmur, an old-fashioned classic festive cookies. Kuih Makmur do taste differently, usually  made from butter, ghee or margarine as the main ingredient. Pastry making is similar to Pineapple tarts, cookies are light crips and buttery. The ingredients in this Kuih Makmur reminds me of the exact taste during the good old days. I must say that's its 'special' in our hearts and loving it always!

Since I like it that much, I decided to make a video on Kuih Makmur while making the Pineapple Tarts altogether. Pretty much that I can remember so far, not doing in bulk but for myself. This recipe differs from those you get from the store shelves or home bakers, the way I like it. Believe it or not, do the taste test on every home visits during festive seasons, there's a lot of difference.

What's amazing about this Kuih Makmur, some are really beautifully made and the sizes varies. Just a little bit to describe on the classic Kuih Makmur which also known as 'Prosperity cookies'.

Green Pineapple Tarts from the same dough, looks different but taste just the same. Finally I had all of these with "Two in one cookie dough" for all of us to enjoy!

Here I'm sharing a few more videos, 'coming soon' to my channel and which I would certainly love to keep in my cookbook diary as always. Thank you for visiting, happy working and happy holidays to everyone.

PINEAPPLE TARTS

Here I've made another version of Pineapple Tart or Kuih Tart. An old favourite, it's time consuming nevertheless we will make it anytime when the cravings come. We love the amazing taste, especially when it's freshly baked. Homemade Pineapple Tarts are delicious and I've always baked them in small batches.

For the pineapple jam, I've made with three pineapples and we can get at least 50 pieces of Pineapple Tarts.  The tarts melt in the mouth, light crisp and crumbly but it's yummy!

Shaping, crimping the Pineapple Tarts method varies just do it as simple and easy.  If that's too much hassle, making it into small balls, fill with jam, place in paper cups and  create simple patterns at the top. If you like a bit darker colour, brush with some egg wash on the pastry.

This pineapple cookies are specially made for my kids and the tarts can last for at least two weeks. Bake these tarts until light brown at the base. I believe food preservative are added to most cookies sold at the stores and it can last for months. I love the unique taste of this tart pastry, the old time feeling these cookies made from Planta margarine. Many prefer butter than margarine anyway it's no wrong or right just pick your choice.

Crimping these cookies need patience and practice, do it at our own pace and enjoy. I've used this recipe to make another traditional festive cookies so check it out on my next post.

That's all, thanks for coming by and have a good week ahead. Happy holidays!
