Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup ice water
• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter in small pieces and blend using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is chilling, prepare the strawberry filling. Slice the strawberries and place them in a bowl. Mix with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into even squares (approximately 4”x4”).

Step 6

Place a spoonful of strawberry mixture into the center of each square. Fold the pastry diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 7

Whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush over each pastry.

Step 8

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade strawberry pastries!
