The Pineapple Tart Premix used in this recipe is a time-saver for bakers. There’s no need to sieve the premix as all ingredients in the premix have been pre-sifted.
Lemon paste renders both colour and flavour in this recipe. The lemon flavour is subtle as a small amount is used, but provides a nice cut into the sweetness of pineapple paste.
