Directions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Pastry:
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry if needed. Cut it into equal squares, typically about 4×4 inches.
Assemble the Parcels:
For savory parcels, spoon your chosen filling onto the center of each square. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
For sweet parcels, add a dollop of fruit preserve or pie filling along with cream cheese or ricotta.
Seal the Edges:
Fold the pastry diagonally to form a triangle or bring the edges together to create a pocket. Use a fork to press and seal the edges tightly.
Add Egg Wash:
Brush the tops of the parcels with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake:
Transfer the parcels to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they puff up and turn golden brown.
