Berry Puff Twists
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup mixed berry preserves
- 1 egg, beaten for wash
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases.
- Spread berry preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Mix melted butter with vanilla extract and brush over the preserves.
- Cut the pastry into 8 equal strips using a sharp knife. Carefully twist each strip several times to create spiral shapes, then place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each twist with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. This creates the golden color and sweet coating.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. The pastry should be crispy and the sugar caramelized. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
