Toaster Pastries Recipe

Ingredients:

Sugar
Jam (any flavor)
1 white (egg); whisked with one tablespoon of milk
2 tsps of baking powder
2&1/2 c of flour (all purpose)
2 whole eggs
1/2 c of shortening
1/2 of sugar

Instructions:

Cream the shortening and sugar until airy. Slowly whisk eggs in, then the flour then the baking powder until you yield a soft smooth dough.

From this dough pull apart small amounts to produce sixteen equally sized small balls. Place balls in a container and seal with cling wrap then place in the fridge for an hour or two. Meanwhile, grease a baking tray then set it aside.

Get the small dough and flatten one into an elongated shape (rectangle). Smear one teaspoon jam on the dough. Get a second ball then press into the same shape then place on top of your first pastry.

Crimp edges then put on baking tray. Prick tops with a fork. Repeat the same procedure as with the rest of the dough balls. Then, whisk together milk and whites of the egg. Use this to brush the tops of your pasties.

Bake for half an hour at 350 degrees F. Can be placed in an airtight container or can be refrigerated.
