Pastry-Wrapped Raspberry Crisps
Source: Bon Appetit magazine
Crust:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted
butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup frozen vegetable shortening,
cut into pieces
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Filling:
6 tablespoons raspberry preserves (with seeds)
1 (6 ounce) basket raspberries
Sweetened whipped cream
Combine flour, 1 teaspoon sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening;
process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer 1/2 cup of mixture to
bowl and add 1 tablespoon sugar; reserve for topping. Cover; chill.
Add water and lemon juice to mixture in processor; blend, using on/off turns,
until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in
plastic; chill until firm enough to roll, about 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day
ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.)
Place rack in lowest position in oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Place
preserves in medium bowl; stir to loosen texture. Fold in raspberries.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 6-inch-diameter
saucer as template, cut out four 6-inch-diameter rounds. Spoon 1/4 of raspberry
filling (about 1/3 cup) in center of each round, leaving 1-inch border at edges.
Working with 1 pastry at a time, fold dough over edge of filling, pinching dough
at 1-inch intervals. Using spatula, transfer to heavy large baking sheet, spacing
apart. Sprinkle reserved topping mixture over exposed filling of each pastry.
Bake crisps until crusts are golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand on baking
sheet 15 minutes. Transfer to plates; serve warm with whipped cream.
Serves 4.
