Directions: |
Directions:- Place the flour, sugar (2 tablespoons/30 grams) and salt - Add the butter (1 cup – 226 grams) and mix (now you have the permission to use the mixer) until the mixture resembles coarse meal. - Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) water in a slow, steady stream until the dough holds together when pinched. If necessary, pour more water - Mix for only about 30 seconds. - Remove the dough from the mixer bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one hour before using.
IN THE MEANTIME: - Add the sugar (1/2 cup – 100 grams), lemon juice, salt (1/4 teaspoon), cornstarch (some of you may know this as corn flour) and the wonderful, fragrant, heavenly cinnamon. - Melt the butter (2 tablespoons/30 grams) in your microwave and add it to the mixture - Preheat the oven to 356 F - Grease your regular sized muffin tin with vegetable oil - removed the dough from the fridge and placed it on a lightly floured surface. - Using a rolling pin, I rolled it out to about 0.1-inch (3 mm) thickness. - Then I went on and cut out a circle from the dough - . Using a sharp knife make two slits in the centers of your cute pies to allow the steam to escape. - Place in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. - |
