Placintele fragede cu prune / Plum empanadas

Reteta noua pentru pachetelul de inceput de toamna :) Ador aceste placintele fragede, sunt ca niste pateuri din aluat fraged umplute cu diverse bunataturi, le-am facut cu gem, cu morcovi, cu branza si chimen, si ma cam gandeam la unele umplute cu crema de ciocolata… :) De data aceasta umplutura e de prune zemoase si dulci, cu scortisoara, a winner combo :) Si nu contin pic de zahar, asa ca sunt perfecte pentru copii mici, insa daca vreti puteti adauga zahar sau indulcitor, ar fi tare dragute „ninse” putin :)

Aluat fraged:

• 300g faina
• 125g unt
• 2 oua
• 3 lg apa rece
• 1 galbenus pentru uns

Umplutura:

• 200g prune
• 1 lg gris
• 1 lgt scortisoara

Pentru aluat framantam cu degetele untul, faina, ouale si apa rece. Cand obtinem o bila de aluat, o transferam pe o suprafata pudrata cu faina si framantam pana nu mai este lipicios aluatul. Il intindem cu sucitorul intr-o foaie de grosime de aprox 3-4mm.

Pentru umplutura taiem prunele cubulete mici mici si le mozolim cu putin gris si scortisoara :) Decupam cercuri de aluat (8-9 cm diametru), punem cate 1 lingurita din compozitie in centru si le pliem pe jumatate, sigiland marginile cu furculita (sau folosind un smecherez aka ustensila ca aceasta a mea :)

Le ungem cu galbenus, le crestam usor cu cutitul sau cu o furculita in 2 locuri, apoi le coacem in cuptorul preincalzit la 180C pentru aprox 30-35 min, in functie de cat de mari sunt, cu ventilatia pornita in ultimele minute pana sunt rumenite frumos :) Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION 

New recipe for the autumn snack :) I love these empanadas, they are this tender pastry that can be filled with all sorts of goodies, I filled them with carrots, jam, cheese and caraway and I was actually thinking about the chocolate spread options… :) This time I filled them with juicy plums and cinnamon, a winner combo :) And they have 0 sugar,so they are perfect for babies and toddlers, but of course you can add a bit of sweetener if you want, they look pretty with a little bit of white powder on them :)

Dough:

• 300 g flour
• 125 g butter
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp cold water
• 1 egg yolk

Filling:

• 200g plums
• 1 tbsp semolina
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the dough crumble the butter, flour, eggs and cold water using your fingers. When a ball of dough forms, transfer onto a floured surface and knead until not sticky anymore. Roll into a 3-4 mm thick layer.

For the filling dice the pitted plums and coat them with the semolina and cinnamon. Cut out circles (8-9cm diameter) from the dough, place 1 teaspoons of filling on one side and fold in half. Seal the edges with a fork (or use an empanada tool like mine) and transfer to a large tray lined with baking paper.

Grease with egg yolk a, poke with a knife or fork, then bake in the preheated oven at 180 C for approx 30-35 min, depending on their size, with the ventilation on in the last minutes, until they turn golden and crisp. Enjoy!
