Leftover Dough Jam Pockets

      Hello my fellow bakers! This week's post will be about using leftover dough! This recipe akes a perfect sweet breakfast! 

      This sort of ties back to my tart recipe. If you have any leftover dough from a pie or a tart, this is one way to use it. Let's get started!



Special tools or ingredients: none
INGREDIENTS
Leftover dough 
Any flavor jam or preserves
Milk (optional)
Egg (optional)
Coarse or regular sugar (optional)
TOOLS
Baking sheet
Pastry brush
Cup or cookie cutter
INSTRCUTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius.

2. Roll out leftover dough and cut out ad many 4 inch circles you can with a cookie cutter or the top of a drinking glass. Flatten it out a bit with you hands.

3. Place one on a plate or baking sheet and place one teaspoon full of jam in the middle. Fold the bottom up, then fold the sides in at an angle, or simply fold it in half ad close with pressing the tips of a fork on the edges. Repeat with as many dough circles you have. If you have leftover dough that you cannot use to make a pocket, you can cut out little shapes or designs and decorate the pockets. You can also just discard the dough.
 
4. In a bowl, beat the egg, then add a splash of milk. Mix it then brush it on the pockets with a pastry brush. Sprinkle them with some sugar. (This step is optional. It just makes it a bit more crispy and golden brown.)

5. Bake them for fifteen to twenty-five minutes, or until golden, checking the bottom every few minutes. Let cool for ten minutes and enjoy!



Enjoy in the morning for a sweet breakfast or as a snack at lunch!
I hope this recipe worked out for you! Enjoy and happy baking! (Feel free to leave recipe suggestions in the comments!)

Life Update

LIFE UPDATE Not all of my posts will be about cooking or baking, though that is the main reason for this blog. But I also wanted to do a blog where I can share about life. This is just a life update, and this post will tell you what I've been doing, how I'm doing, and whatever else is going on.  JUNE and JULY  I thought my summer was going to be fun, but for me, it's been nothing but dog-sitting. You might think that dog sitting isn't so bad, and I'm overreacting, which I probably am, but you'll understand if you've ever had to dog-sit little demons like I had to.  So most of my June was dog sitting and it was easy and I earned money, so...   this June has been alright.  In between my dog sitting, I went to a church picnic for God and Country Day, which is a thing my church does the Sunday before the Fourth of July, on June 30.  Then, after the picnic, I returned to the house to do more dog sitting. I had to stay at the dog's owner's house, so me and...

Recipe: Cheer-up Chocolate Truffles

Anything with chocolate is wonderful and scrumptious, but these truffles are an easy and delicious chocolate recipe. I actually got the name from an episode from Just Add Magic: Mystery City , but theirs was "Cheer'em'up Mac and Cheese."  One of the times I made this was when my Nana was visiting. I made the mixture and let it chill. Then I made them for us when we were playing a board game. She and my sisters liked it, and I think that anybody who has a sweet tooth will love it! I got this Chocolate Truffle recipe from the American Girl Baking cookbook written by Nicole Hill Gerulat. Special tools or ingredients: heavy cream INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup heavy cream 4 tbsp. or 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8-oz. semisweet chocolate 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup powdered sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted TOOLS Saucepan Rubber Spatula Shallow bowl Plastic wrap Melon baller or ice cream scoop Plate Sifter STEPS What are you waiting for?
