Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry Bites
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Hot Honey Drizzle
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the puff pastry to a golden crisp.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into small, evenly sized squares to ensure uniform baking.
- Egg Wash and Bake: Brush each square lightly with beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color and sprinkle with salt. Place the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, until they puff up and turn golden brown.
- Make Hot Honey: While the pastries bake, mix the honey and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to create a spicy-sweet drizzle that will add a flavorful kick.
- Drizzle and Serve: Remove the puff pastry bites from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey mixture over them. Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed to avoid cracking when rolling.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
- Serving these bites warm enhances the texture and flavor.
- Can be served as an appetizer or a sweet-savory snack.
