Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk (for brushing)
- Freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×8 inches. - Spread the Raspberry Jam:
Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam evenly over half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges. - Fold and Seal:
Fold the other half of the pastry over the jam-covered side and press gently to seal the edges. - Cut Into Strips:
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch-wide strips. - Twist the Strips:
Hold each end of a strip and twist it several times to create a spiral shape. Place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. - Brush with Milk:
Lightly brush the tops of the twists with milk to encourage even browning. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the twists for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. - Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for an extra touch of flavor and color.
