Easy Homemade Exquisite Pastry Recipe: Delicious Dessert Idea!

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and granulated sugar.

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Gather the dough, flatten it slightly into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (This step might be very quick in the video).

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place half of the shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon a small amount of fruit jam onto the center of each, then cover with the remaining dough shapes, sealing the edges.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once completely cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
