Hot Honey Fruit Pastries Recipe

Introduction

These Hot Honey Fruit Pastries combine the sweetness of raspberries and mango with a spicy kick from gochugaru flakes, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. They make a delightful treat that balances fruity, spicy, and sweet flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

• 100g raspberries
• 100g mango, chopped into small cubes
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp gochugaru flakes (or 1/2 tbsp normal chili flakes)
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 320g ready-rolled puff pastry, sliced into 12 equal squares or rectangles
• 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
• 1 tsp gochugaru flakes for garnish
• 1 tbsp sugar for garnish

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place a pan over medium heat and add the raspberries, mango, honey, chili flakes, and cornstarch. Stir well and cook until the fruit mixture thickens into a paste. Taste and adjust sweetness or spiciness as desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Step 2: Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
3. Step 3: Slice the ready-rolled puff pastry into 12 equal rectangles.
4. Step 4: Spoon a portion of the fruit filling into the center of half the pastry rectangles. Top each with another pastry piece and seal the edges with a fork, pressing firmly. Pierce the top once with a fork to allow steam to escape. Repeat for all parcels.
5. Step 5: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the pastries on it. Brush each pastry with the whisked egg. Sprinkle with extra gochugaru flakes and sugar.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Use regular chili flakes if gochugaru is unavailable, but reduce the amount to balance heat.
• Swap mango and raspberries with other fruits like blueberries or peaches depending on seasonality.
• For a vegan option, replace egg wash with plant-based milk or aquafaba.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon into the fruit mixture for extra warmth and depth.

Storage

Store any leftover pastries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan) for about 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness. These pastries are best enjoyed fresh for the flakiest texture and vibrant flavor.

FAQs

Can I prepare the fruit filling in advance?

Yes, you can make the fruit filling a day ahead. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container and bring to room temperature before assembling the pastries.

What can I use if I don’t have gochugaru flakes?

Regular chili flakes are a good substitute. Use about half the amount to avoid overpowering the sweetness. Alternatively, mild paprika can add color with less heat.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: Place a pan over medium heat and add the raspberries, chopped mango, honey, gochugaru flakes, and cornstarch. Stir well and cook until the fruit breaks down and thickens into a paste. Taste and adjust sweetness or spiciness by adding extra honey or chili flakes if desired. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the pastries to a golden crisp.
3. Slice the Puff Pastry: Take the ready-rolled puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal-sized rectangles to form the base for your fillings.
4. Assemble the Pastries: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled fruit filling onto the center of one pastry rectangle. Cover it with another pastry piece and press the edges together firmly using a fork to seal. Poke the top of each pastry once with the fork to allow steam to escape. Repeat for the remaining pastry pieces.
5. Prepare for Baking: Line an oven tray with baking paper and arrange the pastries on it. Brush each pastry with the whisked egg wash to promote golden browning. Sprinkle additional gochugaru flakes and sugar on top for extra flavor and crunch.
6. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hot honey fruit pastries warm or at room temperature!

Notes

• You can substitute gochugaru flakes with regular chili flakes for a milder heat.
• Ensure the filling is cooled before assembling to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
• If preferred, use frozen mango but make sure it is completely thawed and drained.
• These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• For a vegan version, replace egg wash with a plant-based milk or oil brushing.
