Ingredients

320g puff pastry sheet
12 tsp Thursday Cottage Passionfruit curd
400g strawberries (small)

blank

a dusting of icing sugar
Mint leaves
1 Egg wash ((1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk))

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan). Unfold the puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal squares (approximately 8cm x 8cm).
Using a knife, score a 1 cm border inside each square, leaving a 1 cm gap between the outer edge and the inner square. Cut just the corners without connecting the lines in the middle.
Place 1 tsp of passion fruit curd in the centre of each square, then place a small strawberry within the uncut border.
Fold the outer corners of the square so they meet in the centre.
Place another strawberry on top, and press gently to ‘seal’ it
Transfer the puffs to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush them with egg wash.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Allow to cool, then dust with icing sugar and garnish with mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
