Description
A delightful recipe for lemon curd puff pastry pockets that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of thawed frozen puff pastry
- 1 cup lemon curd (can be homemade or store-bought)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for a sweet finish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, gently roll out each puff pastry sheet to eliminate any creases.
- Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of lemon curd into the center of each square, ensuring not to overfill them.
- Carefully fold the corners of each square towards the middle, forming a pocket, and pinch the edges firmly to seal them.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a lovely golden hue.
- Place the filled pastry pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are beautifully puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Before serving, lightly dust the pastries with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the lemon curd before filling the pastries.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruit curds like raspberry or passionfruit for a delightful variation.
