Paifala are Samoan pies shaped into half-moons, visually similar to a calzone. The most traditional recipe calls for a filling of crushed pineapple and leftover syrup, milk, sugar, and cornstarch. The crust is typically made with flour, butter, coconut milk, and baking powder, resulting in a fragrant, buttery, and smooth shortcrust pastry. Baked in an oven until golden-brown in color, these filling pastries are then left to cool off and are usually consumed in thick strips.
