Critical Success Points

  • Cook pineapple filling until thick and sticky before adding maltose.
  • After adding maltose, cook on low and stir constantly to avoid burning.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly for a tender crust.
  • Do not overmix dough after adding flour.
  • Seal dough well around filling to prevent leaks.
  • Be gentle when flipping hot cakes during baking.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when cutting pineapple; knives can slip on wet fruit.
  • Maltose syrup is extremely sticky and can cause burns if overheated.
  • Oven and baking sheets will be hot—use oven mitts.
  • Cakes are fragile when hot; handle gently to avoid burns and breakage.
