Time 1h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
2 (8 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, drained and juice reserved
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until coarse crumbs form.
  • Whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture and knead until just combined, adding a little more flour if too wet or a little more milk if too dry. Divide the dough into thirds; 2/3 will be for the bottom, save 1/3 for the top.
  • Roll 2/3 the dough out onto a lightly floured surface into an 11x15-inch rectangle. Place dough into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan, making sure it comes at least halfway up the sides.
  • Combine pineapple and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour reserved pineapple juice into a bowl and add cornstarch; stir until dissolved. Add to the saucepan and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let filling cool in the refrigerator, about 15 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll remaining 1/3 dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a 9x13-inch rectangle. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and unroll on top of the pineapple filling, making sure edges of the dough reach the edges of the pan.
  • Combine flour and sugar in a small bowl. Add vanilla extract and cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle streusel topping over dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Cut into 24 squares.
