How to prepare Strawberry Puff Pastries
To prepare the strawberry puff pastries, start with the base: unroll the puff pastry directly onto a baking sheet and cut it into 6 rectangles 1. Fold the edges inward 2 and press with the tines of a fork to create a decorative pattern 3.
Brush all the edges with egg white 4 and prick the base with a fork 5. Bake the puff pastries in a preheated convection oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream: place the yolks and sugar in a saucepan 6.
Add the sifted cornstarch 7 and mix with a hand whisk to combine the ingredients 8. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring with the whisk 9.
Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring with the whisk 10, until the pastry cream begins to thicken 11. Remove the cream from the heat, transfer it to a dish, let it cool down, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled.
In the meantime, the puff pastries will be baked, so take them out of the oven and let them cool 13. You are ready to assemble the treats: fill the bases with pastry cream 14 15.
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems 16, and slice them. Distribute the strawberry slices over the cream 17 and serve your strawberry puff pastries immediately 18!
