Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Fruit jelly or jam (any flavor)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the frozen puff pastry sheets from the freezer and let them thaw for about 5-10 minutes until pliable but still cold.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and roll them out gently to smooth any creases.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 8 equal rectangles, creating 16 pieces in total.
Place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of half of the rectangles, spreading slightly but leaving a border around the edges.
Add about 1 teaspoon of jelly or jam on top of the peanut butter, being careful not to overfill.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry rectangles lightly with the egg wash.
Place another rectangle of puff pastry over each filled piece and press the edges together to seal tightly. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges further.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
If desired, dust the pastries lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Peanut Butter and Jelly Puffs with a glass of milk or as a fun treat for any age!
