Ingredients
- 2 cups flour Alternative: 1 cup whole wheat pastry + 1 cup unbleached all purpose
- Pinch of salt
- ⅔ cup cold vegan butter
- 2-4 Tbsp ice cold water
- 1 heaping cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 Tbsp raw sugar for topping (+ more for sweetening compote filling – optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the compote by placing berries in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes with a lid on, stirring occasionally and smashing down with a spoon.
- Add a few teaspoons of sugar to sweeten if preferred.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- To prepare crust, mix flour and salt in a large bowl, then cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter until well combined.
- Using a tablespoon, drizzle cold water over the mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until it starts to form a dough.
- (2-5 Tbsp ) It should be moist enough to form into a ball, but not too sticky to knead.
- Add more flour if it gets too wet.
- Turn onto a floured surface, shape into a disc, and then use a rolling pin to roll into a large rectangle.
- Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the dough while rolling to reduce cracking.
- Cut into 12 equal squares (not rectangles) and carefully transfer each to the baking sheet.
- Place about 1 Tbsp of filling onto 6 of the squares, leaving a 1/4 inch border to seal the edges.
- Then use your finger to dot water around the edges so the two squares stick together.
- Top the squares with their matching halves and then seal lightly with a fork.
- Poke a few holes in the top of each, rub a tiny bit of vegan butter on top of each, sprinkle with raw sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
