Ingredients
8 Servings
- 225 g butter
- 1 egg
- 300 g flour
- 120 g jam
- 1 tsp salt
- 30 g sugar
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
Step 4
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rectangles about 3x4 inches in size.
Step 7
Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of jam onto the center of each rectangle.
Step 8
Brush the edges of the rectangles with beaten egg, then place another rectangle on top. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 9
Brush the tops with more beaten egg and poke a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Step 10
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
