I am, apparently, still on a puff pastry kick. But instead of a quick dinner idea today
I have an easy and delicious breakfast treat for you. The morning I
made these I was a little frustrated because my puff pastry was sticking
together. I had bought a brand that comes folded (and frozen) and
somehow during the thawing process that morning the dough had become
very stick to the point that I just couldn't unfold it. Bummer. The good
thing about puff pastry though is that it is like any super buttery
dough (like croissants) is that layers are a good thing! So if you find
your dough stuck together, like I did, simply dust with flour and
flatten it out with a rolling pin to the size you need.Most of the recipes are taken from HERE!
Rhubarb Toaster Strudels, makes 8 to 10.
Needed: 2 cups finely diced rhubarb (I used frozen and thawed before
use), 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, one sheet of puff pastry, 1/2
cup butter and 1 to 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar.
Dice up the rhubarb and combine with the sugar and ginger in a bowl,
set aside. Cut your puff pastry dough into 8 to 10 squares. On a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper lay out a square of dough, fill with a
spoonful of rhubarb and fold over into a triangle. Use a fork to press
the edges together. Continue until you have filled all the pastry
squares. Bake at 375 F for 20-22 minutes.
During
the last 3-4 minutes of baking prepare your glaze. In a small pot melt
the butter over low heat. Begin adding powdered sugar, 1/3 cup at a time
and whisking to combine. Continue until you have the consistency you
like. Remove toaster strudels from the oven and immediately drizzle
glaze over them. The glaze will harden as it cools so be sure to get
your drizzling done before it has time to harden.
