Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed)
- ½ cup seedless raspberry jam (or any preferred fruit jam)
- ¼ cup flour (for dusting)
- 2 tbsp confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Cut in half to create two rectangles.
- Spread ¼ cup of raspberry jam evenly over one rectangle and place the second rectangle on top, gently pressing down to seal.
- Cut the layered pastry into ½ inch strips, then cut each strip in half lengthwise.
- Twist each strip gently from both ends and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each twist.
- Chill the twists in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking for optimal flakiness.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and let cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioner’s sugar prior to serving if desired.
