CAJUN SWEET DOUGH

Cajun Sweet Dough image

Down in Louisiana this dough is used to make what we call Cajun Sweet Dough. The traditional filling is fig and it is made into turnovers, but it can also be used as pie crust, although it is not as flaky. It is supreme as turnover dough, for ANY kind of filling.

Time 15m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 egg white (for egg wash)

Steps:

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter, then add the sugar a little at a time. Add the vanilla. Beat the mixture until it is nice and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk.
Before you use this dough, be sure you chill it well at least 2 hours or even overnight.
To make turnovers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pie filling into the center of each square and fold over to form a triangle. Pinch the seams to seal or press with the tines of a fork. Place at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the tops and bottom.

Cream together the Crisco and sugar until fluffy. Beat eggs and vanilla into mixture. Slowly stir in the flour and baking powder until dough is smooth.
Form dough into fist-sized balls. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Spread fig, blackberry or other filling of your choice onto half of the rolled out dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Use a fork to seal the edges together. A bowl may be used to roll around the edge to make it even and cut off the excess dough. Repeat the procedure with the other dough balls.
Once I have mixed my dough and it is prepared to make tarts, I put the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. The dough becomes easier to work with. This recipe should make at least 2 dozen tarts, depending on the size of the tarts you make.
Place the tart pies on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown; approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.

In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until foamy. Add the melted butter/Crisco. Gradually add the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and nutmeg to the mixture. Add the evaporated milk and water.
