Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry and Filling
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar blend.
- Prepare Pastry Squares: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheets into approximately 2-inch by 2-inch squares for evenly sized bites.
- Apply Egg Wash to Edges: Brush the edges of each pastry square with beaten egg. This helps to seal the pockets and ensures they stay closed during baking.
- Fill Pastry Squares: Place a small dollop of melted butter mixed with vanilla extract, then sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon sugar in the center of each square.
- Fold and Seal: Fold the corners of each square toward the center over the filling, creating little pockets. Press down the edges firmly with a fork to seal the pastry.
- Arrange and Brush Tops: Place the filled biscuit bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with any remaining beaten egg wash to encourage golden browning.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the tops with the leftover cinnamon sugar mixture for an extra sweet and crunchy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry puffs up and turns a beautiful golden brown, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuit bites to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these tasty, warm bites fresh from the oven!
Notes
- Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed for easy handling and best puffing results.
- Use a light hand when applying egg wash to avoid soggy tops.
- For added flavor, you can mix the melted butter with vanilla extract before dolloping on the pastry squares.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; they can be reheated in a low oven if needed.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
