Ingredients
Scale
Pastries
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon water
Icing
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1½ teaspoons whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder, optional
Instructions
- Thaw and preheat: Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Heat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line two sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare bottom pastry layer: Unfold one sheet of pastry and smooth out seams. Cut into 6 equal rectangles. Place rectangles on prepared sheet pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam into the center of each rectangle and spread evenly, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides.
- Apply egg wash: Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make the egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash around the edges of each dough rectangle with jam.
- Top layer preparation: Unfold the second sheet of puff pastry and smooth out seams. Cut into 6 equal rectangles. Place one rectangle on top of each jam-filled piece and gently press to seal.
- Seal edges: Use a fork to press around the seams of each pastry to create a seal, being careful not to press all the way through the dough. Brush the tops with remaining egg wash.
- Chill the pastries: Place the assembled pastries in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill and firm up before baking.
- Bake: Bake the chilled pastries for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla powder (if using) until smooth.
- Drizzle icing: Once pastries are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing over the tops.
Notes
- For best flavor and texture, enjoy the strudels fresh out of the oven.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a toaster oven or conventional oven until heated through for crispiness.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk in the icing with almond or oat milk and omit vanilla powder if unavailable.
- Ensure your puff pastry sheets are fully thawed before working to avoid tearing.
