Sweet puff pastries

These delicious little pastries taste even better than they look, trust us! - by Barbara Northwood

Sweet puff pastries
Prep: 30 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 12
Proudly supported by

We like to make most things from scratch but when it comes to puff pastry, shop-bought ready-rolled is so much quicker and easier. If you keep a pack in the freezer, you can make these pretty rose-scented sweet puff pastries whenever visitors turn up.

Ingredients

250ml milk

11/2 tbsp cornflour

1 tbsp caster sugar

11/2 tbsp double cream

11/2 tsp rosewater or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

120g cream cheese

320g ready-rolled puff pastry

1 egg, beaten

5 tbsp runny honey, or to taste

1 tbsp black sesame seeds or finely chopped pistachios

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.

  2. Tip the milk, cornflour and sugar into a small pan and stir until the cornflour has dissolved. Heat the mixture over a medium heat for a couple of mins, stirring all the time and more vigorously as it thickens. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream, rosewater or vanilla extract and leave to cool for 30 mins. Mix with the cream cheese.

  3. Unroll the puff pastry and cut into squares (each about 10cm). Place a small amount of the rosewater/ vanilla mixture and cream cheese in the middle of each square, then fold one corner over to make a triangle. Seal the parcels by gently pressing the edges with the tines of a fork. Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 mins or until puffed and golden.

  4. While the puffs are still warm, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with the black sesame seeds or pistachios. Serve warm or cold.
