Homemade French Pastry for Breakfast
Making French-style pastries at home always reminded me how a slow morning can feel incredibly special. This recipe uses store-bought puff pastry to create simple, elegant breakfast treats.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Small Bowl
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (butter-based)
For the Egg Wash
- 1 Egg For brushing
- 1 tbsp Milk
For Serving (Optional)
- Powdered sugar For dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the pastry into triangles.
- Roll each triangle starting from the wide end to form a croissant shape.
- Whisk the egg with the milk in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pastries with this egg wash.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
- Remove the pastries from the oven, let them cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if you choose to use it.
