Puff Pastry Cherry Blossoms
- puff pastry sheet
- pie filling, of your choice
- egg wash (one beaten egg)
- turbinado sugar
- glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Cut your sheet of puff pastry into squares. I cut down the 3 vertical marks that are previously there. I was left with 3 strips. I cut each strip into 3 squares. They are not perfectly square, but that's o.k! You can make yours larger if you like. Take one of your squares and place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Don't use more than that, or you will have a mess.
- Grab two opposite corners and pull up to center and pinch together.
- Do the same with the other corners. Now, pinch closed two seams and leave two open.
- Lay your cherry blossoms on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- If you don't have parchment paper, grease your pan lightly.
- Brush with egg wash.
- Sprinkle sugar over pastry.
- Bake at 375 degrees until very golden.
- 15 to 20 minutes.
- Don't worry if a bit of your filling runs out.
- You can take a knife and push it right back inches.
- Prepare the glaze while the blossoms are baking . . .Mix confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla.
- Make the glaze the consistency you like.
- Once the blossoms have finished baking, glaze them while still warm.
