Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup ice water
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter in small pieces and blend using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the strawberry filling. Slice the strawberries and place them in a bowl. Mix with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into even squares (approximately 4”x4”).
Place a spoonful of strawberry mixture into the center of each square. Fold the pastry diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
Whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush over each pastry.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade strawberry pastries!
