Description

These Easy Strawberry Turnovers are a delightful, flaky pastry filled with fresh strawberries and optional Nutella, baked to golden perfection and topped with a tangy lemon icing glaze. Perfect for a quick dessert or a sweet snack, these turnovers combine the crispiness of puff pastry with juicy strawberries and a luscious glaze, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry

Filling

  • 5-9 strawberries (depending on size)
  • 5 teaspoons Nutella (optional)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Glaze

  • 1 cup icing sugar (125 g)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice (more or less as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the turnovers from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare pastry squares: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean working surface. Cut the pastry into squares; about 18 small squares can be made from one sheet.
  3. Add filling: On half of the pastry squares, spread about ½ teaspoon of Nutella, if using. Place one small strawberry or half of a large strawberry in the center of each square with Nutella.
  4. Form turnovers: Cover each filled square with an unfilled square of pastry. Seal the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork to crimp them together tightly. Use a small knife to make two small slits on each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking. Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking tray.
  5. Apply egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the tops of the turnovers with this mixture to give them a beautiful golden color once baked.
  6. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the turnovers for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and deeply golden brown.
  7. Make glaze: While the turnovers bake, mix the icing sugar with lemon juice to create a smooth, thick but slightly runny glaze. Start with 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice, adding more drop by drop until you reach the desired consistency.
  8. Glaze turnovers: Once baked, remove the turnovers from the oven and drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the top using a spoon.
  9. Cool: Allow the pastries to cool for about 5 minutes on the tray, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of strawberries based on their size or your preference.
  • If Nutella is not desired, the turnovers can be made with just strawberries for a lighter flavor.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is cold when cutting and handling for best results.
  • The lemon juice in the glaze can be adjusted to taste to balance sweetness and tartness.
  • Use parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat to prevent the turnovers from sticking.
