Pineapple buns are one of my husband’s favorite Chinese bakery desserts, but it’s not always easily accessible where I live. My mother-in-law always makes us a batch whenever she visits from Chicago, but they’re usually all eaten before she even leaves! Pineapple buns are a kind of sweet bun and do not contain pineapple at all; the name refers to the checkered pattern of the sugary crust that resembles a pineapple.
This ‘pineapple bun toast’ is my shortcut way of satisfying our craving for a pineapple bun with ingredients you probably already have at home! It’s crunchy and sweet— It’s the perfect snack to have with my cup of coffee, I’ve made this 3 times this week already,
What you’ll need to make pineapple bun toast at home:
All purpose flour
Sugar
Butter
Bread
How to make pineapple toast:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and butter until you get a fluffy, smooth consistency.
Spread the butter mixture on a slice of bread (I was able to make two toasts with this amount).
In an air fryer or oven, bake at 350ºF for 6-8 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn! Rotate the toast halfway through! Enjoy!
3 tablespoons Butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 slices Bread of choice
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and softened butter until you get a fluffy, smooth consistency.
Spread the butter mixture on a slice of bread (I was able to divide the butter mixture in half and make two toasts).
In an air fryer or oven, bake at 350ºF for 6-8 minutes (or until crispy and golden). Make sure to keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn! Rotate the toast halfway through! Enjoy!
