Servings: 6 Strudels
Ingredients
For the Strudels:
- 1 package frozen puff pastry 2 sheets, thawed
- ½ cup fruit jam or preserves any flavor
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg beaten
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 –2 tablespoons milk or cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut each one into six equal rectangles. Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir the jam with cornstarch. Spoon about a tablespoon of jam into the center of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Brush the edges lightly with beaten egg, then top each with another rectangle of pastry. Press the edges with a fork to seal and poke a few small holes on top to let steam escape.
- Brush the tops with more egg wash for a golden finish and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- While the pastries cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze. Drizzle over the warm pastries before serving.
