Sorry for the delay of sharing this recipe as I was too busy baking for my families during the CNY period.

I received good feedbacks on my pineapple balls & it indeed melted in my mouth as per my expectation. :) Pretty happy as this year was my 1st attempt baking this! ^^

30g icing sugar
2 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pineapple Filling (360g) - I used Phoon Huat (red package) 

*Dough is 10g & pineapple filling is 8g.

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
2) Sift the flour.
3) Use an electric mixer to blend the flour with butter, milk powder, sugar & vanilla essence.
4) Add in egg yolk & blend into a soft dough. Do not over work.
5) Pinch off some dough to wrap the pineapple filling and roll into round ball.
