Method
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine the mixed dried fruits, walnuts, honey, and orange zest. Cook over low heat until the mixture is heated through and sticky.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.
- Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square, then fold and seal the edges.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the pastries until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Notes
Chill the dough longer if it's too soft to handle easily. Experiment with different dried fruits for a unique filling.
