Fruit Filling
- 100g raspberries
- 100g mango, chopped into small cubes
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp gochugaru flakes (or 1/2 tbsp normal chili flakes)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Pastry
- 320g ready-rolled puff pastry, sliced into 12 equal squares or rectangles
- 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
- 1 tsp gochugaru flakes for garnish
- 1 tbsp sugar for garnish
- Prepare Fruit Filling: Place a pan on medium heat and add raspberries, mango, honey, chili flakes, and cornstarch. Stir well and cook until the fruit thickens into a paste-like consistency. Taste and adjust honey or chili flakes to your preference. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- Slice Pastry: Slice the ready-rolled puff pastry into 12 equal-sized rectangles.
- Assemble Pastries: Place a spoonful of fruit filling in the center of one pastry piece. Top with another piece of pastry and seal the edges with a fork. Prick the top of the pastry once with a fork to allow steam to escape. Repeat for the remaining parcels.
- Prepare for Baking: Line an oven tray with baking paper. Place the pastries onto the tray, brush with whisked egg wash, then sprinkle with additional gochugaru flakes and sugar.
- Bake Pastries: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and crispy. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the level of spiciness in the filling and topping.
- Make sure to crumble the cornstarch well in the fruit to avoid lumps and help thicken the filling.
- Use a fork to seal the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Serve these pastries warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Substitute gochugaru with regular chili flakes if unavailable, adjusting for heat.
