The Easiest Braided Raspberry Pastry
This braided Raspberry Pastry features sweet jam, a sugar glaze, and a pancake mix pastry. It's a delicious breakfast treat without all of the fuss of traditional dough.
Ingredients
For the Pastry
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cold
- 4 tablespoons butter, cold
- 2 cups pancake mix
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup jam
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a half sheet pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cut cream cheese and cold butter into pancake mix with a pastry cutter (or sturdy fork) until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Add 1/4 cup milk to the dry mixture (or enough to make a dough). Mix the dough with a wooden spoon or your hands until well combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth (about 2-3 minutes) and roll out to a rectangle the size of the pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the greased baking sheet.
- Spread the jam down the center of the pastry and cut 11-13 thin diagonal strips on the bare pastry with a paring knife.
- Fold the pieces over the jam and each other alternating sides and starting at the top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees until the pastry is golden brown and jam is bubbling.
- While the pastry is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze onto the warm pastry with the whisk.
