Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 6 pieces Ripe plums
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the ripe plums into small cubes, discarding the pits.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Cook the plum mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the plums release their juices and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the plum filling into the center of each pastry square.

Step 7

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each puff with the egg wash.

Step 9

Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to expand during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and the pastry is flaky.

Step 11

Allow the puffs to cool for 5 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Plum Puffs!
