Description
Rhubarb Puff Tart Pockets are delightful pastry treats filled with a sweet and tangy rhubarb mixture, perfect for a quick dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) thawed frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until the rhubarb softens and the filling thickens. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- On a floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to eliminate any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, yielding a total of 8 squares.
- Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cooled rhubarb filling into the center of each pastry square.
- Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring to press the edges firmly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for an appealing design.
- Brush the tops of the filled pockets with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden finish upon baking.
- Arrange the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they rise and turn a lovely golden brown.
- Once baked, let them cool slightly before optionally dusting with powdered sugar. These delightful pockets can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For an extra touch of sweetness, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the rhubarb mixture.
- You can also mix in strawberries for a delicious berry twist.
