Flakies

We love making these simple and scrumptious treats! For this recipe, we use a store-bought block of puff pastry that we roll out ourselves, but you can substitute it for a pre-rolled sheet of puff pastry and get the same light and flaky results- just watch your baking time! The thinner sheets will bake much faster! 

What you need: 

Baking sheet 

Grown-up- for the oven bits 

1 block of puff pastry, thawed

2 cups of whipped cream, whipped  

1/2 cup of your favourite jam (we love raspberry) 

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup of coarse sugar

Sprinkle of flour for dusting your surface. 

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

3. Dust your surface with flour and roll out your puff pastry until it’s 1/4 of an inch thick and looks like a rectangle. 

4. Using a butter knife, cut the dough into nine squares- it’s okay if they vary in sizes!! 

5. Transfer your cut pieces to your baking sheet.

6. Bush pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. 

7. Bake for 15-17 until puffed and golden brown.  

8. Let cool completely. 

9. Split the flakie in half by gently pulling it apart from the centre- like you would open a roll/bun. 

10. Spread the bottom with a dollop of whipped cream and the top with a tablespoon of jam. 

11. Smush it back together and enjoy!
