Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out 2 thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases.
  2. Step 2: Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal squares, making 12 squares total.
  3. Step 3: Place 1 tbsp strawberry jam in the center of 6 squares, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the jam-filled squares with some of the 1 beaten egg, then cover each with a plain square. Press edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  5. Step 5: Transfer strudels to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for shine.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Meanwhile, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Step 8: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over warm strudels before serving.
