- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup fruit jam or filling of choice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for icing, optional)

- In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water until the dough comes together.

- Top with another rectangle of dough and seal the edges with a fork.

- Let cool before icing with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk, if desired.
Notes
