Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Vegan butter
- 60 ml Ice-cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 100 grams Almonds
- 50 grams Pecans
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2.5 tablespoons Water (for chia egg)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chia egg. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it sit for 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add 150 grams of cold vegan butter cut into small cubes into the flour mixture. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add about 60 ml of ice-cold water to the flour mixture, mixing gently with a spatula until a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in a reusable kitchen wrap or parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while you prepare the filling.
In a food processor, combine 100 grams of walnuts, 100 grams of almonds, and 50 grams of pecans. Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped but not turned into a paste.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped nuts with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the chia egg to the mixture and stir well.
Retrieve the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the pastry into squares or use a round cutter to make circles.
Place a spoonful of the nut mixture in the center of each pastry piece. Fold over the pastry to cover the filling and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Allow the Vegan Nutty Pastry Delight to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
