Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will take about 3-5 minutes. Then, incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the baking powder, vanilla extract, and gradually fold in the all-purpose flour.
The batter should be smooth without any lumps. If desired, you can separate this batter into different bowls for various flavors.
Step 2
To create the flavored slices, divide the batter into four bowls. In the first bowl, combine the batter with strawberry yogurt. In the second, add the melted dark chocolate. For the third, mix in the cream cheese with a splash of lemon juice for cheesiness. Finally, stir in the sour cherries and black currants into the last bowl.
Make sure each flavor is evenly mixed before moving to the next step.
Step 3
In a prepared baking dish or lined baking tray, pour each flavored batter in rows or separate sections, ensuring even distribution. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the slices comes out clean. Keep an eye on the different flavors as they may bake at slightly different times.
Once baked, allow the slices to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 4
After the slices have completely cooled, you can optionally drizzle with ganache or a light glaze for extra sweetness. Cut into squares or rectangles, serve on a platters, and enjoy the delightful combinations of flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, cheesecake, cherry, and coffee. Perfect for gatherings or a special treat any day!

Variations
If you're catering to dietary preferences, don't worry! You can easily tweak these delightful pastries to fit gluten-free and vegan requirements.
For a gluten-free variation 🌾, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture may vary slightly, but the flavors will shine through!
As for making it vegan 🌱, replace eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg), and use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate options. This way, you won't sacrifice flavor while accommodating your friends and family.
Faq
- Can I use frozen fruits for these pastries?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before using them to avoid sogginess.
- How long can I store these pastries?
These mini pastries can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
- What's the best way to make my pastries rise?
Ensuring your baking powder is fresh and properly measuring ingredients will help your pastries achieve that fluffy texture!
- Can I add additional flavors to the pastries?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with extracts like vanilla or almond to enhance the flavors.
- Why are my pastries too dense?
This could be due to overmixing the batter or adding too much flour. Be gentle when mixing for the best light and airy results!
- How can I ensure my pastries are evenly cooked?
Rotate your baking sheet halfway through the baking time and check for doneness a few minutes before the timer goes off.
