Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Workspace: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean your workspace and gather all ingredients and tools like baking sheets and parchment paper.
Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry sheets until they’re about 1/8 inch thick. This step ensures even baking and flakiness.
Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cool water, then slice them into quarters and toss them in sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes so they release their juices.
Assemble Your Puffs: Cut the rolled pastry into squares. Place a spoonful of strawberries in the center of each square. Fold over diagonally and seal edges with a fork for that charming homemade touch.
Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together an egg with a splash of water. Brush this mixture over each puff to give them that irresistible golden shine when baked.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your assembled puffs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they’re puffed up and beautifully golden brown.
And there you have it! Your Strawberry Flaky Puffs are ready to indulge in. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar on top if you want to go fancy!
