Ingredients
1 Pack Simply Better Expertly Grown Irish Frozen Strawberries
3 Tbsp. Caster Sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 Tsp. Finely Grated Lemon Rind
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 Pack Simply Better Frozen All Butter Puff Pastry, thawed and fridge cold
Plain Flour, for dusting
1 Tbsp. Cornflour
1 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large Egg White
1 Carton Simply Better Irish Made Vanilla Bean Custard
Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Pack Simply Better Expertly Grown Irish Frozen Strawberries
- 3 Tbsp Caster Sugar
- 1 Tsp Lemon Rind
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pack Simply Better Frozen All Butter Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1 Tbsp Cornflour
- 1 Simply Better Free Range Egg White
- Simply Better Irish Made Vanilla Bean Custard, to serve
METHOD
- Put the strawberries, sugar, lemon rind and vanilla extract in a non-stick pan. Mix the cornflour in a measuring jug with a little water until smooth and then make up to 100ml with extra water. Pour into the pan and put on a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the strawberries are soft but still holding their shape, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and then cut into 4 x 15cm squares. Transfer to a parchment-lined large baking tray and chill until needed.
- Divide the strawberry mixture among the pastry squares set on the baking tray. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it along the edges of the pastry, then fold one corner over to form triangles. Use a fork to seal the edges firmly and then gently knock back the edges with a palette knife, which helps the pastry layers to puff up. Chill again for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6). Beat the egg white in a small bowl and brush over the strawberry turnovers, then give each one a light sprinkling of sugar. Bake for 30 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
- Arrange on plates with some custard to serve.
