Ingredients for puff pastries with berry filling:

  • puff pastry without yeast - 500 g (2 layers of 250 g each)
  • black currant - 1 cup
  • sugar - 8 tsp. + a little for sprinkling
  • sunflower oil for greasing the baking sheet - 2 tbsp.

Formation of puffs:

Before I start cutting the dough, I Prepared powdered sugar. I stopped buying it - I make it myself, because it’s so simple and, compared to the store-bought version, it’s also cheap.

So, I poured sugar into the grinder (I always do it for future use, not just at once).

Grinded at maximum speed for a few seconds. The powder is ready! You can pour it into any storage container (it’s better if it has a lid) - a sugar bowl or a convenient jar.

Now puff pastry without yeast. When it defrosted(usually 40 minutes at room temperature is enough for this), you can start working with it.

Layer weighing 250 g rolled out to a square shape. I will make it out of him 4 puffs.

I cut the layer with a sharp knife crosswise into 4 equal squares.

In each square I made 4 “corners” - stepping back from the edge 1-1.5 cm I made the cuts as in the photo. The center of each side of the square should remain uncut areas.

Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of powdered sugar onto each piece.

Then I laid out the berries (you can use either fresh or frozen).

I again sprinkled 0.5 tsp on top. powdered sugar. In total, I got 1 tsp. for each puff. Of course, you can increase the amount of powder to taste.

Now raised all 4 corners of the square and connected them together in the center, carefully making a tuck(light pinch may unravel during baking).

I did the same with the second layer of dough. Place the puff pastries on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 220"C.

Sprinkle the finished puff pastries with powdered sugar.

I love this berry! There is so much taste, beauty, and benefit in blackcurrant! ;) And it turned out elegant! :)
