Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 21-ounce can of sweet cherry filling
  • 1 package of defrosted puff pastry sheets
  • 1 cup of confectioners' sugar
  • 1 egg white gently whisked with 1 teaspoon of water
  • 3 tablespoons of whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven is key to achieving that perfect flaky turnover.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets. You should have two sheets. Roll each out gently to smooth out the creases and increase the surface area just a bit.
  • Cut each sheet into squares, approximately 4×4 inches. You can make them bigger or smaller according to your preference, but ensure you maintain the same size for consistent baking.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of cherry filling in the center of each square. Avoid overfilling; it can spill over during baking and create a mess.
  • Fold the pastry over the cherry filling to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra touch.
  • Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash and apply a light glaze to the top of each turnover. This step gives them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the turnovers on it. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  • While the turnovers are baking, mix the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla, and almond extract in a bowl. Adjust the consistency until it’s pourable but thick enough to stay on top of your pastries.
  • Once the turnovers are out of the oven and cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over each one. Allow it to set for a few minutes before serving

Notes

  • Watch the Baking: Every oven is different. Keep an eye on the turnovers to avoid burning.
  • Cooling is Key: Let them cool slightly. It’s tempting, but you’ll avoid burns and messy icing.
  • Flavors Can Vary: Feel free to adjust the extracts to match your flavor preference. Lemon or orange can substitute for a citrus twist.
  • Easy Cleanup: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper makes clean-up a breeze.
  • Double the Recipe: If you have friends or family around, consider making a double batch. They’ll disappear fast!
