Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Pastry
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes until they become pliable but still cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix gently until the strawberries are evenly coated and the mixture starts to become slightly syrupy.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, creating 12 total squares.
- Place a small spoonful of strawberry mixture in the center of each pastry square, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the pastry diagonally to create triangles, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal the filling inside.
- Brush each pastry with beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny exterior when baked.
- Arrange the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- • Make sure your puff pastry is thawed but still cool to the touch for the best texture and rise • Don't overfill the pastry squares - a small spoonful of strawberry mixture is perfect to prevent leaking • Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly to seal in the delicious filling • For an extra-professional look, use an egg wash to create a beautiful golden shine • Allow the pastries to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent it from melting • These pastries are best served the same day they're made, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days • For a fancy presentation, serve with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
