Ingredients:
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.
