Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup wholewheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
  • 3-4 tablespoons fresh orange juice

For the Prune Filling:

  • 6 ounces pitted prunes
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or almonds as an alternative
  • 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • Beat the Egg: Start by beating the egg in a small bowl. Set it aside for later.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the wholewheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.
  • Add the Butter: Add the cold butter to the dry mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the Egg and Orange: Pour the beaten egg into the mixture along with the orange rind and fresh orange juice. Pulse again until the dough comes together into a soft, uniform ball.
  • Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This step ensures your dough remains tender and easy to work with.

Step 2: Make the Prune Filling

  • Soak the Prunes: Soak the pitted prunes in boiling water for 15 minutes or overnight in cold water to soften them.
  • Grind the Nuts: In a food processor, grind the walnuts (or almonds) to a fine powder. This will add texture to your filling.
  • Blend the Prunes: After draining the prunes, chop them finely or puree them in the food processor.
  • Combine the Ingredients: Mix the prune puree with the ground nuts, strawberry jam, and grated orange zest. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and smooth.

Step 3: Shape the Pastries

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roll Out the Dough: Flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 cm thickness. Use a round cutter to create 3-inch circles.
  • Fill the Pastries: Place a teaspoon of the prune filling in the center of each dough circle.
  • Shape the Triangles: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a triangle, leaving the center exposed. Place the shaped pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp.
