coffee with a twist

4 Oct

I cut a deal with a friend.  She makes coffee…I supply treats.

This is one of those recipes that is so easy you feel a bit guilty for accepting praise and thanks for bringing them along.

glazed apricot twists

(makes eight)

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

1/2 cup apricot jam (melted)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 Tablespoon milk

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Roll the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12″ x 10″ rectangle.  Cut in half lengthwise and then cut each half in to 4 (5″ x 3″) strips.

Spread each with 1/2 Tablespoon of jam and fold in half lengthwise to make a 1 1/2″ wide strip.  Twist each strip 3 times and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake 15 – 20 minutes.  Transfer to a rack that has been placed over a baking sheet. 

Stir together the sugar, milk, and juice and brush over the twists while they are still warm.
