# Ingredients:

01 - 3/4 cup cubed unsalted butter, chilled

02 - 1/2 cup white sugar

03 - 1 1/2 cups plain flour

04 - A pinch of salt (1/4 tsp)

05 - 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained thoroughly

06 - 2 eggs, large

07 - 1/2 tsp leavening agent (baking powder)

08 - 1 tsp vanilla essence

09 - 1 cup sugar

10 - 1/4 cup flour

11 - Powdered sugar for sprinkling

01 - Get a 9×13 pan ready with parchment paper, and set your oven to 350°F.

02 - Combine your flour, sugar, and salt in one bowl. Work in the cold cubes of butter until crumbly. Spread into the lined pan evenly.

03 - Put the crust in the oven for 15 minutes until it looks a little golden. Let it cool a bit after baking.

04 - Beat eggs with sugar until smooth. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Add the drained pineapple last and fold gently.

05 - Spread the pineapple mix over your crust evenly. Bake it for 25–30 minutes until firm along the edges.

06 - Let it cool down completely. Generously sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before cutting it into squares.

01 - For a more tropical twist, mix in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut with the pineapple.

02 - Add some toasted coconut flakes or fresh pineapple on top if you'd like.

03 - Keep these stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Bring to room temp before eating.
