Recipe: Walnut Pastries Ingredients: 400g of yeast-free puff pastry 2 medium eggs 112g (½ cup) of granulated sugar 140g (1 ¼ cup) of ground roasted walnuts 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar A pinch of salt A pinch of citric acid 1 tablespoon of milk Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C / 160 °C fan / 350F / gas mark 4. 2. In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the egg whites become fluffy. Add citric acid and vanilla sugar. Whisk for a further 40 seconds. 3. Add the sugar gradually, approximately 1 tablespoon at a time. Whisk until the mixture becomes stiff and does not fall out of the bowl. 4. Add the walnuts to the egg white mixture. Gently mix to combine. 5. Dust the work surface with flour. Cut the puff pastry into squares (12x12cm/4.7x4.7’’) and roll gently. Add about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of each square. 6. Pinch the edges to seal and shape (see video). Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add milk to the egg yolks and beat. Brush the pastries with the yolk mixture. 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. 8. Allow to cool down for several minutes before serving. Notes/Tips: The walnut pastries will last in the fridge in an airtight container for up 3 days. Vanilla paste or extract can be used instead of vanilla sugar. Citric acid can be omitted.
