TIMESINDONESIA, JAKARTA – Nastar is one of, if not the most, iconic Eid snacks of all time. Its sweet taste filled with pineapple jam will always remind you of your hometown.
Do you want to make a delicious nastar but don’t have the experience needed for it? Don’t worry, TIMES Indonesia got your back! With this fool-proof recipe, you are guaranteed to get a pretty and delicious nastar on your coffee table!
Few common mistakes can make a nastar looks not-so-pretty. The shape may change similar to a chocolate chip cookie, or even worse, lots of cracks may appear on the surface of your nastar.
How to avoid these problems? There are a few tips to make your nastar looks pretty and yolk-like.
First of all, use solid butter for the dough. All cookies must use solid butter for their dough because butter can easily melt even with a slight heat. So, if you use melted butter or other liquid alternatives, it will surely turn flat during the baking process.
To get a polished and smooth surface, you need to take note of the dough mixing duration. Excessive friction during the mixing process can melt the butter in the dough easier. You only need approximately four minutes for this process.
The same thing also works during the shaping process. If you left the dough too long on your hands during the shaping process, it can also make the butter melt easier. Put the jam into the dough and roll it quickly to avoid this.
Another tip to avoid flattening during the shaping process, you can put the dough in the fridge for a few minutes. The low temperature of the dough helps to maintain the shape during the Nastar shaping process. Good luck! (*)
