Ingredients

  • 1 frozen puff pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed according to package instructions
  • 1/2 cup apricot jam (6 ounces), melted
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise.

Cut each half crosswise into 4 (5- by 3-inch) strips (for a total of 8 strips).

Spread each strip with 1/2 tablespoon jam, then fold strips in half lengthwise to form 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.

Twist each strip 3 times and place on baking sheet.

Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Transfer twists to a rack set over a sheet of parchment.

Stir together confectioners’ sugar, cream, and lemon juice until smooth, then brush over warm twists.

Serve warm.
