Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 2 cups Frozen mixed berries
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Do not overwork it.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 8 rectangles.

Step 8

Spoon a tablespoon of the berry mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the other half over the filling and seal the edges with a fork.

Step 9

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 10

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
