Another, Hey, Keni, reckon you can make... , recipe. Let me say straight up that I hate making pastry..or, more accurately, pastry hates me. These tasted great, and would be really easy for someone who isn't dough rolling impaired! Read more ! You can change up the filling and toppings, too, to create your own favorites. Ingredients:
1 block cream cheese, softened |
1stick butter, softened |
2t honey |
2 eggs |
1t vanilla |
3-3 1/2 cups flour |
2t baking powder |
various filing and topping options(see below) |
topping and filling possibilities |
use about 2t per serving of any one of the following |
any all fruit fruit spread(mix with 1t cornstarch) |
lemon curd(mix with 1t cornstarch) |
cinnamon and brown sugar(mix with 1t cornstarch) |
peanut butter with or without fruit spread(you can try swirling it |
melted chocolate chips or vanilla chips with marshmallows or a bit of the fruit spread |
topping possibilities |
honey with a touch of water with or without lemon juice, heated in the microwave and brushed over baked treats |
vanilla or chocolate glaze made with powdered sugar mixed with milk or half and half with vanilla extract or cocoa added to make a thin glaze to be brushed on |
add any other extract/flavor can be added to a glaze |
sprinkle with colored sugars or other cake/cookie decorations. |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and cream cheese with honey until smooth.
2. Add eggs one at a time.
3. Add vanilla.
4. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined and a soft dough forms.
5. Refrigerate 1 hour.
6. On well floured board, roll dough out, in batches, into rectangle shapes(to whatever size desired, and trim to make straight), about 1/8 thick. (this is an example of do as I say, not as I do ...cus mine weren't 1/8 ... grrrr) Cut each rectangle in half to create two equal sides, a top, and a bottom. See Photo
7. Place a thin layer of desired filling onto one side of each set of dough, and spread to within about 1/4 inch of the edges. See Photo
8. Place top of each dough set over filling and crimp all edges down, well. Edges must be as sealed as possible, or the filling will expand and run out through the edges. Don't ask me how I know this...;)
9. Make tiny holes in top of dough, for air to escape, but hopefully not your filling. :) Try using a tooth pick.
10. Brush tops with melted butter, or egg wash, if desired.
11. Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes until edges and top are just golden brown.
12. Cool slightly then brush with desired topping!
