Description
A delightful pastry made with einkorn flour and filled with your choice of pie filling, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose einkorn flour
- 1/2 pound butter (cold, sliced into 1/4″ pieces)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup pie filling of choice
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk
Instructions
- In a food processor, measure 240g of all-purpose einkorn flour, add 1/2 pound of cold butter (cut into smaller pieces).
- Pulse a few times until butter is chopped into corn kernel sizes pieces.
- Add 1/2 cup of cold water to the food processor while the machine is OFF. Pulse 3-5 times until mix looks like pea sizes pieces and you can still see chunks of butter.
- Onto a piece of cling wrap or waxed paper, scoop the mixture out and press it into a square – about 6 inches square.
- Close sides of wrapping around the block, and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and unwrap it. Place on a well floured surface and roll to a 12 inch by 12 inch square.
- Fold into thirds, like a letter. Flour well and roll again into a 12 inch square. Repeat the folding and rolling process 3 times (4 times total).
- The final time you fold, you can wrap and store until you are ready to use.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece on a well floured surface to about 12 inches square.
- Cut into quarters and add filling of your choice diagonally to the squares (about 2 tablespoons per piece). Fold over at the corners and crimp with a fork.
- Repeat with other half of dough.
- Pierce to top of each pastry in whatever pattern you prefer. I choose a 3 slit design.
- Place finished pastries onto a parchment lined tray and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Remove pastries from fridge and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until pastries are golden brown.
- Mix powdered sugar (we use maple powdered sugar which you can make yourself) and milk of your choice until you reach the consistency you desire.
- Allow pastries to cool for about 15-20 minutes before drizzling with glaze and devour.
Notes
- Use any pie filling of your choice, such as apple, cherry, or blueberry.
- For a sweet glaze, adjust the amount of milk added to powdered sugar.
