Description

You will adore these jam pockets, and they’re a cinch to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cold & cut into cubes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • jam, any flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt until mixed. Toss in the cubed butter and give it a few long buzzes, until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Toss in the egg and vanilla and buzz a couple more times, until a very soft dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple hours.
  3. Roll the dough out (about 1/8″ thick) and use a cookie cutter (or a drinking glass) to cut into circles. Add a dollop of jam (about 1 heaping tsp.) to the middle of each circle and gently fold the edges inward, overlapping in the middle. Or you could just fold it into a half circle and completely close the pocket, but then you can’t see what kind of jam you’re getting before you bite into it. :)
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes. The bottoms should be just faintly brown, the tops will not be. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar or superfine baker’s sugar if desired.
