Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 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

Pastry

  • 320g ready-rolled puff pastry, sliced into 12 equal squares or rectangles
  • 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)

Garnish

  • 1 tsp gochugaru flakes
  • 1 tbsp sugar

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.
