Get the oven ready: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). To keep the pastries from adhering to the baking pan, line it with parchment paper.
Be ready with the Berries: Wash the berries well and pat them dry. Prepare the strawberries by hulling and dicing them. Some berries may be briefly mashed to release their juices, making the filling more jam-like.
Unfold the puff pastry sheets that have thawed and roll them out gently on a lightly floured board to smooth any wrinkles. Make a total of 18 squares by cutting each page into 9 equal pieces.
Make the Pastry Balls: Pinch together the four corners of each square to create a ball, then fill it with your filling. To keep the filling from escaping during baking, pinch and close any edges that aren’t completely sealed. After you have the baking sheet ready, set the pastry balls on top with the seam side down.
Lightly brush the beaten egg over each dough ball to create a glossy, golden coating. Granulated sugar, if liked, may be sprinkled on top for a little more sweetness and texture.
Once taken out of the oven, let the dough balls aside to cool somewhat on the baking sheet before dusting with sugar. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for an attractive finishing touch.
Make Your Berry Selection: Fill it with a colorful, tangy-sweet mixture of fruit. If you want to use frozen berries, just defrost and drain them well before incorporating them into the dough.
Make the Most of Puff Pastry: Puff pastry is at its finest when chilled, so be sure to store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Doing so guarantees that the dough will bake up beautifully.
Pinch the pastry’s edges firmly to seal it and prevent leakage. Use a little amount of more dough to seal any holes that may form.
Delight in it.
