Delight in these flaky Raspberry Pastry Twists featuring layers of buttery puff pastry filled with sweet raspberry jam. Quick to prepare and perfect for a sweet breakfast or dessert, these twists bake to a golden crisp in just over thirty minutes.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry, thawed
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam or alternative jam of choice

Topping

  • Confectioner’s sugar, optional, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Work Surface: Sprinkle flour on your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle about 12×16 inches to create an even base for the jam.
  2. Cut Pastry: Slice the pastry in half lengthwise to create two equal rectangles.
  3. Spread Jam: Evenly spread ¼ cup of raspberry jam over one of the rectangles, ensuring coverage reaches the edges for full flavor in every bite.
  4. Seal Layers: Place the second pastry rectangle on top of the jam-covered one and gently press down to seal the edges and layers together.
  5. Cut Strips: Using a sharp knife, cut the stacked pastry into half-inch-wide strips, then cut each strip in half lengthwise for manageable twist sizes.
  6. Form Twists: Pinch the ends of each strip and twist them into spirals, creating the signature twisted shape of the pastry.
  7. Chill Pastries: Place the twisted pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up before baking.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the chilled twists for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and flaky.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the twists to cool on a wire rack, then optionally dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • These Raspberry Pastry Twists are best enjoyed fresh for maximum flakiness and flavor.
  • You can store the twists for several days in an airtight container, but they may lose some crispness over time.
  • Feel free to substitute raspberry jam with any fruit jam or preserves of your choice.
  • Use confectioner’s sugar sparingly for a subtle sweetness and an elegant look.
