Ingredients

60 g White Flour (1/2 cup)
0.25 tsp Baking powder
2 tbsp Milk
2 tbsp Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Strawberry Jam
2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together on a wide, shallow plate and set aside.
2
Melt half of the butter (1 tablespoon) in the microwave or a pan.
3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk and the melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead it gently in your hands a few times until smooth.
4
Using a rolling pin (or pressing firmly with your hands), flatten the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
5
Spread the cream cheese and strawberry jam evenly on one half of the dough circle, leaving a small empty border around the edge.
6
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon pocket. Use a fork to firmly crimp the edges together so the filling doesn't escape.
7
Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully place the stuffed dough pocket into the skillet.
8
Toast for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the dough is cooked through and the outside is crispy and golden brown.
9
Remove the hot pocket from the skillet and immediately place it on your prepared plate, turning to coat both sides in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
10
Serve immediately while the outside is crispy and the filling is perfectly melted!

Chef's Tips

•You can swap the strawberry jam for honey, hazelnut spread, or maple syrup if you prefer a different flavor profile.
•Ensure your pan is strictly on medium-low heat. If it's too hot, the butter will burn and the outside will brown before the raw dough has completely cooked inside.
•If you don't have a rolling pin, a clean glass bottle or simply pressing the dough out flat with your palms works perfectly.
