Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 125 grams Butter, chilled and diced
- 50 grams Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Jam of choice (strawberry, raspberry, apricot, etc.)
- 1 large Egg for egg wash, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the chilled, diced butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk the egg, cold water, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a smooth dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut the dough into 3-inch squares or circles using a cookie cutter.
Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of each square.
Fold the dough over the jam to form a triangle or a semi-circle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
Beat the remaining egg and brush over the pastries for a golden finish, if desired.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and set.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free jam-filled pastries!
