Ingredients

• 250 grams whole wheat flour
• 125 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups frozen mixed berries
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams chopped almonds
• 1 unit egg
• 1 teaspoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the unsalted butter, and using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. Be careful not to overwork it.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the frozen mixed berries, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 4-inch squares. Place a tablespoon of the berry mixture in the center of each square.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped almonds over the berry filling in each square.

Step 9

Fold the pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing down with a fork.

Step 10

Beat the egg with a teaspoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with the egg wash.

Step 11

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow pastries to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free treats!
