Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams strawberry jam
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to about a 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 16 squares, each approximately 4 inches wide.
Place a teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center of each square.
Fold each square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal the pastries.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg white lightly and brush it over the tops of the pastries.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the pastries.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
