Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 120 g coconut oil, solidified
- 60 ml ice-cold water
- 1 tsp salt
- 300 g mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by preparing the pastry. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
Add the solidified coconut oil to the flour mixture, working it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the ice-cold water into the mixture, a little at a time, combining gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let it firm up.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the mixed berry filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
Stir the berry mixture frequently until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the rolled dough into rectangles (approximately 3x5 inches).
Place a tablespoon of the berry mixture in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a border around the edges.
Brush the borders with a little water, then place another rectangle on top, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and cut a small slit on top of each for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
