Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 50 grams Cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 200 grams Fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Stir in the yogurt and mix until the dough comes together. If it’s too dry, add 1 teaspoon of cold water at a time until you achieve a cohesive dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Dice the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a small bowl. Add the honey, cornstarch, and vanilla extract, then mix until the strawberries are well-coated and set aside.

Step 5

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the strawberry filling in the center of one rectangle, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of border around the edges. Brush the edges with a little of the egg white, and place a second rectangle over the top, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 4 pastries in total. Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with the remaining egg white.

Step 8

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut 2 small slits in the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
