Made my own Nutella puffs! REALLY GOOD. And fairly easy!
I’ll add my recipe to the post soon, gotta eat a few first~
So I checked out a few other Nutella pastry recipes, but none were exactly what I wanted (pure Nutella filling, nothing else).
What I used:
- Nutella (six spoonfuls, for six puffs; if you want to use a full pastry sheet, you’ll need 9 spoonfuls)
- Frozen pastry puff sheets (I only had time to use 2/3 of one sheet; refreeze the second sheet in the box quickly so it doesn’t go bad once you remove a single sheet)
- Egg wash (one egg + 1 tsp of water, whisked together; apply with brush)
- Some kind of brush to put on eggwash, and a fork for crimping and whisking.
- Floured surface for rolling pastry out and cutting.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees~
- One recipe I read suggested rolling out the sheet on a floured surface, so I did that. Thinned out the pastry sheet and made it larger. Trust me, they’ll still be quite puffy when done!
- Just took 2/3 of one sheet of a frozen puff pasty sheet (defrosted), divide into squares (each sheet is 3 long strips, so divide each strip into 3 squares/rectangles depending on if you want triangle or rectangle puffs)
- Divide up your squares and pick one to start on.
- Plop some Nutella in the center! Mmmmmm Nutella. Don’t eat too much of it yet!
- Brush some egg wash onto the parts of that side that were not covered by Nutella, so that when you do the next step it sticks closed when cooked.
- Fold over your square/rectangle so it forms either a triangle or rectangle shape. This seals the Nutella inside.
- Brush some egg wash onto the top of the folded pastry, and sprinkle a little sugar on top! Then use your fork to crimp the edges shut.
- When oven is ready, pop em in on a cooking sheet. I didn’t butter mine or anything (not sure what they’d require) since I have a teflon sheet here at home.
- Set timer for 20 min, and remove when you see they are golden browned on top and puffed up! Mine took just under the 20 min that were suggested by a similar recipe, so just wait until you smell that yummy pastry smell, then check on them!
- Let cool when done, then INDULGE IN THE AWESOME.
I can say from experience, make these for friends or something, because I was the only one home and I ate alllll mine. Nom nom, my friends!
UPDATE!!! Ok so this time I made more, and the sheets were way more thawed… cooking time was much shorter. Just watch for when they brown.
