Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup mixed berry preserves
  • 1 egg, beaten for wash
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the puff pastry will rise beautifully when it hits the heat.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes clean-up a breeze!
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s smooth and even, about 1/8 inch thick. Look for a uniform thickness to ensure even baking.
  4. Spread the mixed berry preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Make sure the preserves are spread thinly to avoid sogginess in the pastry.
  5. Mix the melted butter with vanilla extract, then brush it over the preserves. This adds both flavor and helps the sugar adhere.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 8 equal strips. The strips should be about 1 inch wide for the perfect twist.
  7. Carefully twist each strip several times to create spiral shapes. This step is key for that beautiful presentation, so take your time!
  8. Place the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to puff up while baking.
  9. Brush each twist with the beaten egg wash, then sprinkle granulated sugar over the top. This creates that irresistible golden color and sweet crunch.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed. You'll know they are done when they smell heavenly and have a beautiful golden hue.
  11. Allow the twists to cool for 5 minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle!
