Maple Pecan Pastries - A Delicious Treat for Any Occasion
Looking for a sweet and indulgent treat that will satisfy your cravings? Look no further than these delectable Maple Pecan Pastries! Made with a rich and buttery pastry dough, these pastries are filled with a sweet and nutty mixture of maple syrup and pecans, creating a flavor that is simply irresistible.

To make these Maple Pecan Pastries, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 egg, beaten

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter, using a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cold water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. In a separate bowl, mix together the maple syrup and chopped pecans. Spoon a small amount of the mixture onto each circle of dough, then fold the dough over and press the edges together to seal.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg, then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
When finished, these Maple Pecan Pastries will be a beautiful golden brown color, with a flaky and buttery crust that is perfectly complemented by the sweet and nutty filling. They are perfect for serving as a dessert or a sweet snack, and are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them.
