Strawberry Toasties

With the snow comes my want for warm food. I crave warm breakfasts and my winter comfort foods. These toasties were good but I think I will try a different recipe next time I want to make these. In the end there were only 6 small-ish toasties. But they were a good, warm breakfast. Here’s the recipe.

Strawberry Toasties

From The Love of Baking

 

2 cups All Purpose flour

3 Tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2-4 Tablespoons cold water

3/4 cup vegetable shortening

2/3 cup strawberry jam

1 egg

 

Topping

1/2 icing sugar

4 Tablespoons coconut milk

 

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon sheet. Pour flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs with some small pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons water over flour mixture. Using a fork, mix until dough is moist enough to hold together when pressed. Add more water by the Tablespoon if needed.
• Shape dough in a ball. Divide in half. Form each half into a rectangle. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
• On a piece of plastic wrap, role one rectangle into a larger rectangle measuring about 9″ by 12″. Cut into twelve equal pieces. On six pieces spread with 1 Tablespoon jam, leaving a 1/2″ border. Whisk egg with 1 Tablespoon water. On the other six, lightly brush with egg mixture. Sandwich egg-brushed side down pieces with jam pieces. Using prongs of a fork and press edges to seal, blacing each on a baking sheet. Reserve egg mixture.
• Topping Lightly brush tops with reserved egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Stir icing sugar and evaporated milk. Spread over cooled toasties.
