Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) Use chilled for best results.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced) Can substitute with frozen strawberries, ensure to thaw and drain.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Helps to thicken the strawberry mixture.
  • 1 each egg (beaten, for egg wash) Provides a shiny finish.
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional) For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss until strawberries are fully coated.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out heart shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
  4. Place half of the heart shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Add a heaping teaspoon of the strawberry filling in the center of each shape, leaving edges clear for sealing.
  5. Brush the edges with the beaten egg, and place another heart-shaped pastry on top. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Baking
  1. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a glossy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy your delightful pastries!
