Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Vegan butter
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 150 grams Fruit jam (e.g., strawberry, raspberry)
• 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Slowly add the cold water into the mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it forms a cohesive ball.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 3mm thickness.

Step 9

Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough.

Step 10

Place a small spoonful of jam in the center of half of the circles.

Step 11

Brush the edges of each circle with a bit of plant-based milk and top with another circle of dough.

Step 12

Use a fork to press down the edges and seal the pastries.

Step 13

Transfer the sealed pastries onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 14

Brush the tops with plant-based milk and sprinkle granulated sugar over them.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 16

Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack before serving.
