Ingredients
  

For the pastry
  • 1 package puff pastry (thawed) Thaw before use.
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) Any berry mix preferred.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust sweetness based on berry type.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
  • 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash) Provides a golden sheen.
For the glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For glazing the pastries.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a bowl, mix the berries, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Take a rectangle of puff pastry and place a line of the berry mixture down the center. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
  5. Twist the pastry to create a spiral shape and place it on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Brush the twisted pastries with the beaten egg for a golden sheen.
Baking

Glazing
  1. While the pastries are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
  2. Once out of the oven, let the pastries cool slightly before drizzling the sweet glaze over the tops.
Serving
  1. Allow the pastries to cool a bit more before serving. Enjoy!
