Method

Pastry Dough Preparation

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

2

Incorporate Butter

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3

Add Water

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

4

Chill the Dough

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

5

Prepare the Fruit

Wash and chop the fresh seasonal fruit into small pieces (if necessary). Place the fruit in a mixing bowl.

6

Mix Filling Ingredients

Add brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice to the fruit. Toss gently until the fruit is coated evenly with the mixture.

Assemble the Pastry

7

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

8

Roll Out Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles or squares, depending on your preferred shape.

9

Fill Pastry

Place a spoonful of the fruit filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold over and seal the edges by pressing with a fork or your fingers.

10

Apply Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Brush the mixture over the top of each pastry for a golden finish.

Bake

11

Bake the Pastry

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

12

Cool and Serve

Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
