Ingredients
  

  • 80 g sorghum flour
  • 40 g corn starch
  • 40 g tapioca starch
  • 50 g oat flour
  • 4 g flax seed
  • 2 g whole psyllium
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 25 g grated cold butter
  • 125 g cold water
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 100 g cold cubed butter
  • White rice flour for shaping

Filling

  • 60 g soft cream cheese
  • 1 tsp pickled jalapeño juice
  • 1 tbsp diced, pickles jalapeños more or less for preferred hotness
  • 60 g apricot jam or other flavoured jam

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix sorghum, flour, corn starch, tapioca, starch, oat flour, grated butter, flaxseeds, psyllium, husk, baking powder, sugar, salt and grated butter.
  • To the bowl of flour add the vinegar and cold water in a slow stream, while mixing with a mixer and a dough hook. The mixture will look like large breadcrumbs.
  • Lightly mix in the cubed butter and shape the dough into a ball. Chill for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour and roll out the dough until it is quite thin. About 1/4 inch thick or a little less.
  • Use a large star cookie cutter to cut out the stars. Place the stars on a square of parchment paper and then onto the baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl add the cream cheese, pour in the pickle juice and mash them together before stirring in the jalapeños.
  • Place a small teaspoon of jam in the middle of each pastry star and then add a small teaspoon of cream cheese on top of the jam. Use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture out a little, but don't push it all the way to the edges. The amount of filling depends on how large or small your stars are.
  • Whisk the egg yolk and water to completely combine them, and then brush the top of the stars with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for a further 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry looks golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, cool for 10 minutes and enjoy while still warm.
