Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Vegan butter
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Raisins
• 60 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add chunks of cold vegan butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raisins, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar has melted and the mixture is thick and fragrant. Allow it to cool.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a rectangle shape approximately 0.5 cm thick.

Step 8

Spread the raisin mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one of the longer sides.

Step 10

Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the pastries with non-dairy milk to help them brown.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your vegan raisin pastries warm or at room temperature.
