Chocolate
Turnovers
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose
flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut up
4 tablespoons cold butter (no substitutes), cut up
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg yolk
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 ounces premium white chocolate, finely chopped
4 teaspoons granulated sugar - divided use
- Pulse flour, sugar, and
salt in food processor. Add shortening and butter; pulse until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water through feed tube,
1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until mixture begins to hold
together but still is crumbly. Shape pastry into a ball and flatten
into a thick disk. Wrap and freeze 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, arrange oven
rack in lower third of oven.
- Heat oven to 425°F
(220°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Beat yolk
and 1 tablespoon water in cup. Set aside.
- Divide pastry into 4 equal
pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time (refrigerate remaining
3 pieces) on a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 6-inch
circle. Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon each dark and white chocolate
in center of circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush border with
egg. Fold pastry in half. Seal edges with fingertips, then trim
with fluted pastry wheel. Transfer turnover with a spatula to
cookie sheet. Brush top with egg mixture; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon
sugar. Refrigerate. Repeat.
- Bake turnovers until golden
brown, 16 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately, while warm.
Makes 4 turnovers.
