Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/4 cup ice-cold water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup filling of your choice (scrambled eggs, cheese, sautéed veggies, or fruit preserves)
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Divide into two discs and chill for 30 minutes.
- Prepare Your Filling: While the dough chills, prepare your desired filling (e.g., scrambled eggs with cheese or sweet fruit mixture).
- Roll Out the Dough: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one disc to 1/8 inch thick and cut into 4-inch circles.
- Fill and Seal: Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one half of each circle, fold over, and crimp edges with a fork. Brush tops with egg wash if desired.
- Bake: Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before enjoying warm or at room temperature.
