Description

Berry Puff Twists are delightful, crispy, and golden-brown pastries made by twisting puff pastry strips filled with sweet mixed berry preserves. This easy-to-make treat combines buttery, flaky layers with a luscious berry filling, finished with a sweet sugar coating and a shiny egg wash glaze, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup mixed berry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for wash)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases, creating an even layer for filling.
  2. Add Filling: Spread the mixed berry preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides to prevent spilling. Mix the melted butter with vanilla extract and brush this mixture gently over the berry preserves for added flavor and moisture.
  3. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 8 equal strips. Carefully twist each strip multiple times to create spiral shapes, then arrange them spaced out on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for puffing.
  4. Brush and Sugar: Brush each twisted strip with the beaten egg wash to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the twists to create a sweet and slightly caramelized crust.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the twists are puffed up, crispy, and golden brown, with caramelized sugar on top. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry remains cold until you are ready to bake to achieve maximum puffiness.
  • You can substitute mixed berry preserves with any other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry.
  • For added texture, sprinkle some sliced almonds or coarse sugar on top before baking.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar.
