Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry & Filling

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (plus additional for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg, beaten

Sweet Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions until pliable but still cold to ensure optimal puff and flakiness during baking.
  2. Add the Berry Filling: In a bowl, mix the berries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and lemon zest. Spread a thin, even layer of this mixture over one puff pastry sheet, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
  3. Cut and Twist: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the filled pastry sheet into strips about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Hold each end of a strip and gently twist several times to create puff pastry twists.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush each twist generously with the beaten egg to achieve a golden shine once baked. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top for added crunch and sparkle.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Drizzle Sweet Glaze: While the twists cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons milk or water and vanilla extract until smooth but still thick enough to drizzle. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm twists.

Notes

  • Keep the puff pastry cold during preparation to ensure maximum flakiness.
  • Avoid overfilling the pastry with berries to prevent sogginess.
  • Twist evenly to ensure uniform baking and appearance.
  • Check for doneness a few minutes before time is up to avoid over-browning.
  • Adjust the amount of milk or water in the glaze to get the desired consistency for drizzling.
