Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 50 milliliters Cold water
• 200 grams Raspberry jam
• 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.

Step 5

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 30x25 cm (12x10 inches).

Step 7

Trim the edges to make clean lines, then cut the dough into strips about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide and 12 cm (4.5 inches) long.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the center of each dough strip, leaving a small border on all sides.

Step 9

Fold each strip in half lengthwise, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative pattern.

Step 10

Place the sealed raspberry sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 11

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the sticks for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.

Step 13

Allow the raspberry sticks to cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
