Edible love letters are so much tastier than real letters. Cottage Delight and ourselves have teamed up to bring you a sweet and cute V-day recipe, so easy to make and definitely wow factor
Prep Time: 40 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 400g plain flour
- 4 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 200g salted butter
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 10 tsp Cottage Delight Strawberry Jam
Directions
Add flour, 2 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar, salt and butter to a food processor and process until crumbly (or use your fingers).
Mix the oil with 3 tbsp of cold water and gradually add to the crumbs until a dough forms. You may not need all the oil and water, so add gradually until it comes together. Roll into a rough ball shape and wrap in cling film for at least 30 mins.
- Roll out chilled pastry into a big rectangle and cut out 3inch x 3inch squares. Dab the edges of the squares with a little water. In a diamond shape, fold up bottom corner, then fold the sides in to create the envelope shape.
- Spoon in 1 tsp of jam to each envelope. Use leftover pastry to add little hearts on top.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins at 200c, until starting to turn golden. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar before serving.
