Ingredients for the Hojaldritos Puff Pastries:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry for baking
- 1 egg
- 1/2 glass of water
- 100g of sugar
- 100 g of honey
How to Make the Recipe:
- On a flat surface, put the sheet of pastry. With a knife, make cuts from top to bottom and then from left to right. The proportions should be 2 fingers long and wide apart. At the end we will have some small squares of puff pastry left.
- Now is time to prepare the syrup. In a casserole, add the water, sugar and honey. Heat it over a medium heat and let it cook for about 6 minutes, stirring from time to time. Then, remove it from the heat and let it cool down.
- Next, place the puff pastry squares on a baking tray with baking paper, with a little separation between them. With a brush, paint them with the beaten egg, and put them in the oven, previously heated to 200ºC.
- Let them cook here for about 6-8 minutes, until they grow and brown a little. Then take them out of the oven and let them cool down.
- Finally, put the pastries in the syrup and bathe them. Do it in batches to make it easier. With a skimmer, sink them into this syrup, being careful not to break them. Then drain them, place them on a plate, and they are ready to eat!
