Equipment

  • Baking sheet, Food processor, Fork, Parchment paper, Silicone baking mat, Wire rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 120 g light spelt flour
  • 2 tablespoons 24 g raw sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt if using unsalted peanut butter
  • 5 tablespoons 80 g creamy natural peanut butter, divided
  • ¼ cup 60 ml plain almond or other nondairy milk, plus extra to brush on top
  • ¼ cup 80 g all-fruit raspberry spread or other favorite jam, combined with ¼ teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt (if using), and 3 tablespoons of peanut butter in a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add the almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into circles about 3 mm thick.
  • Place 2 circles on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Divide the remaining peanut butter and jam into 2 equal portions.
  • Spread them in the center of the bottom crusts, leaving space at the edges to prevent filling from escaping.
  • Place the remaining crusts on top, press the edges with a fork to seal, and prick the top crust with a fork for ventilation.
  • Brush the top with milk.
  • Bake for 26 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the pastries cool on a wire rack.

Variation:

  • For an extra touch, drizzle icing over the top.
  • Mix powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle over the pastries once they cool.
