Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams whole wheat flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter, chilled
- 60 milliliters cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300 grams mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 whole egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and add to the flour.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the cold water gradually, mixing just until the dough holds together. Do not overwork the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and erythritol.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berry mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut into circles or squares, about 4 inches in diameter or across, depending on your preferred shape.
Place a spoonful of the cooled berry filling onto one half of each pastry piece. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a fork.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free pastry with mixed berry filling!
