Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
Filling:
- 1/4 cup fruit jam or preserves (any flavor)
Icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth it. Cut the pastry into rectangles or squares suitable for individual strudels.
- Fill the Pastry: Spoon about one tablespoon of your chosen fruit jam onto the center of half of the pastry pieces, leaving a border around the edges for sealing.
- Seal the Strudels: Place the remaining pastry pieces on top of the jam-filled ones. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the pockets and prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Prepare the Icing: While the strudels bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and drizzly. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency.
- Drizzle the Icing: Remove the baked pastries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the prepared icing over the warm strudels.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it to avoid cracking.
- You can use any flavor of jam or preserves to customize your strudels.
- For a thicker icing, reduce the amount of milk; for a thinner drizzle, add more milk.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently to maintain flakiness.
