Ingredients:
vanilla glaze
1 tbsp raw sugar for topping
1 cup frozen mixed berries
4 tbsp ice cold tap water
2/3 cup cold vegan butter (Earth Balance recommended)
pinch of salt
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and then line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Put together the compote by putting berries in a saucepan over moderate heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes with a cover on the saucepan, mixing often and breaking down using a spoon.
3. Put in some teaspoons of sugar to help you enhance the sweetness, if desired. We used 1 tsp. raw sugar.
4. Transfer into a dish to cool.
5. To make crust, blend flour as well as salt in a good sized dish, then simply cut in butter using a fork or perhaps pastry cutter right until perfectly blended.
6. Utilizing a tablespoon, drizzle cool tap water over the combination and blend using a wooden spoon until it finally begins to become a dough. We added 2-3 Tbsp - you may want to add up to 5 Tbsp. It ought to be moist enough to hold together as a ball, yet not overly sticky to knead.
7. Add in additional flour, if it grows too moist. Flip on to a floured work surface, form into a disk shape, and then make use of a rolling pin to help you roll it into a sizeable rectangular shape. I think it is useful to place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the dough when rolling to lessen cracking.
8. Slice into 12 equivalent squares (not rectangles) and cautiously move each onto the baking sheet. Set about 1 Tbsp of filling onto 6 of the squares, leaving a 1/4 inch boundary to seal off the edges. Make use of your finger to dot tap water around the sides so the two squares stick together.
9. Top the pieces with the matching halves then seal off gently using a fork. Stick a few holes on the top of each one, stroke a tiny bit of vegan butter over each, sprinkle with organic sugar, and then bake for 20-25 minutes or till golden tan.
10. Allow to cool for several minutes. After sufficiently cooled, top with glaze if desired. Not essential, but recommended for sweeter Pop-Tarts.
