Puffed Pastry Turnovers
10:34 AMIf you're looking for the perfect Memorial Day treat, look no further! These turnovers are super fast and easy depending on what type of filling you decide to use. I made a strawberry filling for mine but you can use the cooking directions for any fruit filling, just use the kind of fruit you like and cook until it reaches the consistency you prefer. Let's get started!
What You'll Need:
- Puffed pastry dough (each sheet typically makes 4 turnovers)
- 16 oz of clean chopped strawberries (or other fruit)
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg & 1 tablespoon water
Directions:
You can make your own puffed pastry dough but it can be pretty tricky with humidity variations and all. I picked up a box of Pepperidge Farm Puffed Pasty sheets from the refrigerated isle near pie crusts. Let the sheets thaw for 40 minutes to an hour then unfold them. While you're waiting for the pastry sheets to thaw, take a small pan and mix your strawberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Let it cook on medium low for about an hour (if you like chunky fruit filling, cook about 20-30 minutes.) Stir frequently because the fruit tends to scorch very easily.
