Happy New Year guys! Wishing you all a blessed 2020 filled with love, happiness and good health.

This year, we welcome the Year of the Rat and I can't wait to share with you this video and short recipe on how to make these adorable Rat Pineapple Tarts. For the pineapple tart dough, I used my trusted pineapple nastar roll recipe which I have been using for the past 5 years. Buttery and delicious and super cute too!

How to Make Year of the Rat Pineapple Tarts
Recipe by Baby Sumo

For every rat, you need:
8g dough (recipe here)
7g pineapple jam
2 almond flakes
2 black sesame seed
Extra almond for tail


1. Roll pineapple jam into oval shape.

2. Place pineapple jam on dough and bring the dough up around it to enclose. (see video)

3. Shape so that it is slightly tapered at the front (this will be the "face" side)

4. Place almond flakes/ slivers about 1/3 from the front (for the ears). Ensure that the smaller side of the almond is facing the top.

5. Use tweezers to place black sesame seeds on the face (for the eyes).

6. Take an almond flake and cut lengthwise into three strips. Use one as the rat's tail.

7. Bake in preheated oven (170C - no fan) for 18 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on wire rack before storing. These taste best the following day.

Happy baking! Please refer to the video if you are unsure about any of the steps listed above.
