Ready-made puff pastry is a luxurious gift from the “industry” semi-finished products to those housewives who like to please the family with fresh homemade pastries. On the one hand, it is an order of magnitude easier to prepare the puffs from the finished dough than to make the dough yourself, on the other hand, this is not the same thing as the finished puffs from the store. Such baking is the most delicious right from the fire, until the delicate crunchy layers do not have time to moisten with steam from the air, and you can choose the stuffing to your taste and even bake sweet dessert slouchies and snack envelopes with minced meat, eggs, onions, etc., at the same time. Today we we will prepare sweet puffs with cherries from yeast dough.
Ingredients:
- 100 g fresh cherries;
- 3-4 tablespoons of sugar;
- 1 quail egg;
- 200 g puff pastry.
Cooking
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The dough can be prepared independently on margarine or spread, and you can take it ready. We will use ready-made puff yeast dough.
2. We wash the cherries well under running water, clean the stones. Next, in a suitable bowl, mix the cherries with the specified amount of sugar.
3. Roll out the dough is not too thick, but at the same time and not thin. Cut out the squares approximately 10 cm in size. They should be the same.
4. We put on the squares one tablespoon of candied cherry filling.
5. Pinch the edges with your fingers. You can also use a fork - it will turn out neater and more beautiful.
6. We will make 2-3 shallow cuts on the puffs, so that they do not open and the filling does not flow out. Lubricate them with whipped quail egg and send it to a preheated oven. The temperature should be set to 180 degrees.
7. After 15-20 minutes the puffs are ready. Serve them slightly cooled. You can sprinkle with powdered sugar on top and decorate with a sprig of mint.
