Ingredients
For the filling
- 2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the pastry
- 2 sheets puff pastry thaw at room temp for 30-40 minutes before using
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
Glaze
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Get prepped
- Preheat your oven 400°F
For the filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped 2 cups fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cook the mixture over medium low heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries soften and the filling thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the filling to cool.
For the pastry
- While the filling cools, prepare 2 sheets puff pastry.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut it into squares or rectangles (depending on your preferred turnover size).
- Place a spoonful of the cooled strawberry filling onto one half of each pastry square/rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle.
- Use a fork to press down and seal the edges of the turnover.
Eggwash
- In a small bowl, whisk together1 egg and 1 tablespoon water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash; this will give the turnovers a nice golden color when baked.
Bake
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
- Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Glaze
- Combine ¾ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add additional milk til you reach a good consistency for drizzling.¾ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Drizzle glaze over the pastries, and serve.
