Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in ¾ cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the buttery mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan for the crust. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Fold in ¼ cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, stir in 1 cup of well-drained crushed pineapple.
  5. Pour the pineapple filling evenly over the slightly cooled crust and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are set.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
