Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cold low-fat butter
- 100 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 100 grams raisins
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold low-fat butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine raisins, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to form the filling.
Spread the raisin filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting with the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Seal the edge by pinching the ends of the dough together.
Cut the roll into six equal pieces and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each pastry roll with skim milk to help them brown as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Let the pastries cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low-fat raisin pastries as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
