Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed)
  • ¼ cup flour (for dusting)

Filling & Topping

  • ½ cup raspberry seedless jam (or any flavor)
  • 2 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Roll Out Pastry: Lightly flour your work surface, then roll out the puff pastry sheets into a 12×16 inch rectangle, ensuring an even thickness.
  3. Cut Pastry: Cut the rolled pastry in half to create 2 equal rectangles.
  4. Spread Jam: Evenly spread ¼ cup of raspberry jam onto one of the pastry rectangles.
  5. Layer Pastry: Place the second rectangle on top of the jam-covered one and press down lightly to seal the layers together.
  6. Cut Strips: Cut the layered pastry into strips about ½ inch wide, then cut each strip in half lengthwise to create narrower twists.
  7. Form Twists: Pinch the ends of each strip and twist the dough gently to create spiral shapes.
  8. Chill Twists: Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up before baking.
  9. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure optimal baking temperature.
  10. Bake Pastries: Bake the twists for 10-12 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color and puff up.
  11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the twists cool on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
  12. Dust with Sugar: Optionally, dust the cooled twists with confectioner’s sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use seedless jam to avoid seeping and maintain a neat appearance.
  • Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed for easy handling and rolling.
  • Chilling the twists before baking helps maintain their shape and prevents spreading.
  • Serve these twists fresh for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute raspberry jam with your favorite fruit jam or preserves.
