Delicious Homemade Pastries
  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Add the butter and pastry shortening (or extra dry butter) to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the fats into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the water and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 210-220°C (410-430°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut the dough into your desired shapes (rectangles, circles, etc.).

  3. Add the Filling: Place a small amount of your favorite jam in the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over the jam to enclose it and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

  4. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk or egg yolk substitute. Sprinkle with sugar for added sweetness and crunch.

  5. Bake the Pastries: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

  6. Serve: Enjoy these delicious pastries warm or at room temperature. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
