Ingredients

Puff Pastry Base

  • Puff pastry sheets (1 package, typically 2 sheets, thawed)
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk)

Strawberry Filling

  • Fresh strawberries (1 ½ cups, chopped)
  • Sugar (¼ cup)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon fresh)
  • Cornstarch (1 teaspoon)

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Chop fresh strawberries into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the strawberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until evenly mixed and let sit for about 10 minutes to thicken and release juices.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into even squares, approximately 3 to 4 inches each.
  3. Assemble the Danishes: Place a spoonful of strawberry filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold up the edges slightly to create a rim to contain the filling. Brush the edges with egg wash for a golden finish.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the assembled danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbling gently.
  5. Cool and Garnish: Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry chilled until just before assembling to ensure maximum flakiness.
  • Do not overfill the pastries to avoid sogginess or spillover.
  • Cut puff pastry squares evenly for uniform baking.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Apply egg wash only on pastry edges to prevent browning the filling.
