Ingredients
For the Turnovers:
-
8 ounces frozen strawberries
-
3 tbsp powdered sugar
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed (8.8 ounces)
-
1 egg
For the Glaze:
ย
-
3/4 cup powdered sugar (3.2 ounces)
-
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
-
Prepare the strawberry filling: Defrost the strawberries in the microwave for 5 minutes, then chop them. Add them to a saucepan with sugar and bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
-
Simmer the filling: Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water and the vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir into the strawberries and simmer for 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir vigorously to prevent scorching. Scrape the strawberry mixture into a bowl and let cool completely (refrigerate once the bowl is no longer hot).
-
Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10.5-inch square, then cut into 9 even squares.
-
Make the egg wash: Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a pinch of salt and a splash of water.
-
Assemble the turnovers: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to paint two connecting edges of each square with egg wash. Add about 1ยฝ tbsp of the strawberry mixture to each square, then fold over to make a triangle. Crimp the sides with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining squares.
-
Chill the turnovers: Lay the turnovers on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes. Store the egg wash in the refrigerator.
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
-
Bake the turnovers: Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and paint each turnover with the egg wash. Cut 3 slits in the top of each turnover, cutting all the way through the top layer of pastry. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
-
Make the glaze: While the turnovers are baking, make the glaze by stirring together powdered sugar and milk.
-
Drizzle with glaze: Once the turnovers have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them.
Notes
-
For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar after glazing.
