Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 4 units large eggs
- 1.75 cups crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Cut in the 1 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the flour-butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1.25 cups of granulated sugar, baking powder, remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and the drained crushed pineapple. Mix until well combined.
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the baked crust.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set.
Allow the pineapple bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
