- 2Measure out sugar equal to the weight of the pineapple, and butter equal to half the weight of the sugar. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together, then add the pineapple pieces and mix well.
- 3Separate the 5 eggs. Beat the yolks thoroughly with a fork. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold both the beaten yolks and the stiff whites into the pineapple mixture until fully combined into a uniform mass.
- 4Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish with butter. Roll out the puff pastry and line the dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and reaches up to the rim.
