Sugar – 150 g

Рецепт
1. Prepare ingredients for puff pastries filled with frozen cherries.
2. If you plan to make puff pastry with cherries for breakfast, you can leave the cherries and sugar at room temperature in the evening and move the puff pastry from the freezer to the refrigerator. By morning the components will be ready for use.
3. When the cherries are defrosted, separate the fruits from the released juice. Save the juice if desired - you can use it to make a delicious syrup or sauce for pies.
4. Thaw the puff pastry, place on a floured work surface and roll out to 0.5cm thick.
5. Cut the dough into desired size pieces. I cut the dough into squares approximately 8cm x 8cm.
6. Stepping back about 0.5 centimeters from the edge of the dough, place a portion of cherries on each piece of dough.
7. Add a little starch to the cherries - about 0.5 teaspoon for each serving of cherries. If desired, you can also add a little sugar to make the filling of the pies sweeter. Instead of adding sugar to the filling, I make a sweet cherry sauce from the remaining juice and serve it with the pies.
8. Divide the egg into white and yolk.
9. Brush the edges of the dough pieces with egg white.
10. Fold each dough square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Then dip the tines of a fork into the flour and gently press the edges of the dough to seal them together.
11. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough and filling. Place the prepared pies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, and in the meantime preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
12. Brush the surface of the cooled pies with egg yolk, then place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
13. While the pies are baking, you can make a simple sauce from the remaining sweet cherry juice. To do this, bring the mixture of juice and sugar to a boil over medium heat, and stirring occasionally, cook the mixture for several minutes until the sugar dissolves and large bubbles appear on the surface.
14. In a separate container, mix 1 tbsp. starch with 1 tbsp. cold water. Stir the mixture so that there are no lumps left, and then pour it into the boiling cherry juice in a thin stream. Stirring, bring the juice to a boil again, simmer for about 1 minute, and then cool.
15. Thanks to the starch, the juice will thicken as it cools, and you will get a sticky, sweet cherry sauce that can be served with pies, morning porridge or other desserts.
16. Puff pastry pies with cherries are ready. Bon appetit!
