You Will Need (6 things)

  • 6 tsp Red Berry Jam
  • Strawberry Jam
  • Icing Sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 x roll Puff Pastry
  • 1 Egg(s)
  • Plain Flour (for dusting)

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Slice strawberries, removing the stems. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Roll out pastry onto a sheet of parchment pre-dusted with flour. This will make it easier to move your parcels plus make it easier to clean up...bonus. Make sure to fix any tears in the pastry.

    *Tip: Don't have a rolling pin? Wrap a wine bottle in cling film and dust with flour. Works great.

  3. 3

    Cut the rolled out sheet into 6 squares.

  4. 4

    Put a teaspoon of jam in the middle of each square. Spread the jam into a thin layer over the pastry leaving a 15cm boarder.

  5. 5

    Now place the strawberries on top of the jam on one half of each square keeping your boarder. Sprinkle a little icing sugar over the strawberries.

  6. 6

    Whisk the egg and brush the egg along the edges of each square. Taking each square fold the side without strawberries over the other, forming a rectangle. Press down the edges to seal your parcels.

  7. 7

    Move your parcels from the parchment and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the rest of the whisked egg over each parcel. Then pierce the top of each one with 4 little holes to allow trapped air to release during baking...this will help prevent your pillows from bursting in the oven.

  8. 8

    Place in the oven for 25 - 30mins or until the pastry is puffy and golden. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
