Description

Ingredients

• 1 puff pastry sheet, 2 per box (can be found in the frozen section)
• 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
• Lay the frozen puff pastry sheet on a clean work surface and allow it to thaw for 10 minutes. Do not unfold the dough until its thawed out, but make sure it is still cold when you do.
• Unfold the puff pastry and cut it into nine equal squares.
• With a sharp knife, score L-shaped cuts at the corners of each pastry square, as shown in the pictures above.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of jam onto the center of each puff pastry.
• Take the outer corner of each puff pastry and fold over into the middle. Do this with all four corners, shaping the folds into a bow.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the edges of the pastries with a pastry brush.
• Bake for 13 to 14 minutes, or until they puff up and the edges are golden.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
