Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 milliliters Skim milk
- 120 grams Low-sugar jam (flavor of your choice)
- 1 large Egg white
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce to the flour mixture. Use a spatula to combine until a crumbly dough forms.
Gradually add the skim milk and knead the dough gently in the bowl until it becomes smooth and cohesive. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut the dough into 3-inch circles.
Place about 1 teaspoon of low-sugar jam in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the circles in half to create semi-circular pockets and gently press the edges together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly beat the egg white and brush over the top of each pastry to create a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
