📝 Basic Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
On a lightly floured surface, unfold or roll out your puff pastry sheet. Cut into squares, rectangles, or circles — depending on how you want to shape your delights.
3. Add the Filling
Place your chosen filling in the center of each pastry piece. Be careful not to overfill — less is more when it comes to puff pastry.
4. Seal & Brush
Fold or layer the pastry as desired (triangles, pinwheels, turnovers), then press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg for that signature golden sheen.
5. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and beautifully golden brown.
6. Cool & Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for sweet versions or garnish with herbs for savory options.
