Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 120 g coconut oil, solidified
• 60 ml ice-cold water
• 1 tsp salt
• 300 g mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 60 ml maple syrup
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pastry. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the solidified coconut oil to the flour mixture, working it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice-cold water into the mixture, a little at a time, combining gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let it firm up.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, prepare the mixed berry filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.

Step 6

Stir the berry mixture frequently until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 9

Cut the rolled dough into rectangles (approximately 3x5 inches).

Step 10

Place a tablespoon of the berry mixture in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 11

Brush the borders with a little water, then place another rectangle on top, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 12

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and cut a small slit on top of each for steam to escape.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
