Ready Puff Pastry | 900 g |

Chicken egg | 1 PC. |
Starch | 2 tbsp. l |

Step cooking
- 600 grams of processed cherries are laid out in a bowl.
- 5-6 tablespoons of sugar are poured into the same container. If the cherry is sour, the amount of sugar should be increased, and if sweet, then reduce.
- 2 tablespoons of starch are poured into a bowl. The exact amount of starch, which determines the density of the filling, depends on the amount of juice in the cherry.
- All ingredients must be mixed with a spatula.
- The contents of the bowl are poured into the pan.
- A pan of cherries is set on fire. Stuffing must be warmed over low heat until it thickens. In this case, the mass must be constantly stirred with a spatula. It is also important not to bring the contents to a boil.
- The filling is transferred from the pan back to the bowl. Then you need to wait until it cools to room temperature.
- A layer of puff pastry is cut into several parts.
- Sprinkle each part with flour. And then roll it through a rolling pin to such a thickness and dimensions that the workpieces cut from them correspond to the desired puff sizes.
- Rolled layers are cut into blanks under puffs.
- An egg, broken into a bowl, is thoroughly beaten with a fork until completely homogeneous. Each blank is smeared with an egg along the contour from only one side - as if by the letter “P”.
- In the space inside the letter "P" you need to put a tablespoon of the filling.
- It remains to cover the filling with an ungreased half of the workpiece, wrapping it like a sheet of a notebook. And carefully fasten the edges, gently rubbing them with your fingers.
- For better aesthetics and stronger bonding, the edges are squeezed with the sharp side of the fork.
- In the workpiece by means of a toothpick 10-12 holes are punched. They are needed for the release of steam.
- As an alternative to punctures, cuts can be used. They need to be applied with a knife on the non-coated side before wrapping the filling.
- The blanks are laid out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and smeared with a beaten egg.
- A baking sheet with billets is moved into the oven preheated to 200 ° C. The baking time of the puffs depends on the thickness of the rolled dough, outwardly it should acquire a golden color. On average, the process takes 12 minutes.
- At the end of the baking period, it remains to get the baking sheet from the oven, and the puffs are ready for use. Enjoy your meal.
