For me, any dessert made with Puff Pastry is a favorite!
There is something so satisfying about a dessert that warms the soul when you munch on layers of buttery, flaky pastry that just melt in your mouth.
This is a fun and fairly easy recipe for you to try!
- 1 frozen Puff Pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed according to package instructions
- 1/2 cup Apricot jam (6 ounces), melted
- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- parchment paper
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 (5- by 3-inch) strips (for a total of 8 strips).
Spread each strip with 1/2 tablespoon jam, then fold strips in half lengthwise to form 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip 3 times and place on baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer twists to a rack set over a sheet of parchment. Stir together confectioners sugar, cream, and lemon juice until smooth, then brush over warm twists.
Serve warm.
