Panamanian Hojaldre by my own recipe 👌🏻😋🇵🇦

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while margarine can be more cost-effective.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while bread flour can be less expensive.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Stevia reduces calories while granulated sugar is often cheaper.

coconut flakes

🥗Healthier: almond flakes

💰Cheaper: shredded coconut

Almond flakes add a different texture, while shredded coconut is usually less expensive.

Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and lime zest.

Add water and vanilla extract gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into squares or desired shapes.

Place a small amount of chocolate chips or coconut flakes in the center of each square.

Fold the dough over to create a triangle or rectangle, sealing the edges with a fork.

Beat an egg and brush it over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
