Glazed apricot twists are a delightful and easy-to-make pastry that combines the flakiness of puff pastry with the sweetness of strawberry jam and apricot glaze. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert, these twists are sure to impress and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any folds. You want it to be approximately 1/8-inch thick.
- Evenly spread the strawberry jam over half of the puff pastry sheet. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent the jam from leaking out during baking.
- Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the jam-covered side, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
- Take each strip and twist gently to create a spiral shape. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the heavy whipping cream and lemon juice until well combined.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the twists with the sugar-cream mixture. This will give them a beautiful glaze and an extra touch of sweetness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffy.
- Allow the twists to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure your puff pastry is cold when working with it to achieve the best flakiness.
- You can substitute the strawberry jam with apricot jam if you prefer a stronger apricot flavor.
- Brush the twist with heavy whipping cream before baking to give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Allow the twists to cool slightly before applying the glaze so that it sets nicely on the pastry.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean and even cuts when shaping the twists.
With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a delicious treat that will wow your family and friends. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that these glazed apricot twists offer.
