Flaky Fruit Turnovers
Recipe By :Sunset Cookies
Serving Size : 32 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Formed
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup firm butter or margarine -- cut into pieces
1/3 cup milk
Apricot or date filling
In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add butter. With your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut mixture until it forms fine, even crumbs.
Gradually add milk, mixing with fork until dough holds together.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare filling of your choice.
Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball.
On a well-floured board, roll out one ball into 12" square, then cut it into sixteen 3" squares (press straight down with a long-bladed knife to make neat cookies).
Mound a scant teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold each over into a triangle and seal by running a pastry wheel around edges or crimping them with the times of a fork. Repeat with remaining dough.
Transfer cookies to ungreased baking sheets.
If desired, use a small, sharp knife to cut a small slash in each cookie to expose filling.
Bake in 350º for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to racks and let cool.
Store airtight.
Apricot filling: In a small pan, combine 1/2 cup firmly packed chopped apricots, 2/3 cup water and 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly and mashing with a spoon, until mixture forms a smooth, thick paste (about 10 minutes). Let cool to room temperature.
Date filling: In a small pan, combine 1/2 cup firmly packed snipped pitted dates, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly and mashing with a spoon, until mixture forms a smooth, thick paste (about 10 minutes). Let cool to room temperature.
