Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 sheet Low-sodium puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to the strawberries. Mix gently to combine and set aside for 5 minutes.
Roll out the low-sodium puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into four equal rectangles.
Spoon a small amount of the strawberry mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving about 1/2 inch of space along the edges.
Fold the other half of each rectangle over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Use a small knife to make 2-3 slits on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
