  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (117 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 56 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 10 g Vegetable shortening
  • 20 g Water
  • 30 g Sugar, brown
  • 0.5 g Cinnamon
  • 0.4 g Salt

Method

  1. Set aside about 1 tablespoon (6 g) of the flour for the filling, and mix the rest with the shortening, salt and water into a smooth, pliable dough; knead for 3-4 minutes and rest for 15 minutes.
  2. For the filling, mix the brown sugar with the reserved flour and the cinnamon.
  3. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll each into a thin round, about 15 cm across.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar filling over one round, leaving a small border, then top with the second round and press the edges to seal like a large, flat turnover.
  5. Roll gently once more to flatten slightly and help the filling spread evenly.
  6. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned in spots and the filling has melted inside.
