Ingredients
- 500 g de cerises fraîches
- 1 rouleau de pâte feuilletée
- 100 g de sucre
- 1 cuillère à soupe de fécule de maïs
- 1 cuillère à café d'extrait d'amande
- 1 jaune d'œuf
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and pit the cherries, then combine them in a large bowl with sugar, corn starch, and almond extract to allow the flavors to meld.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 30 x 40 cm).
- Spoon the cherry mixture onto the lower third of the pastry, leaving about 5 cm of space at the edges.
- Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log and seal the edges to prevent any filling from leaking out.
- Place the rolled strudel onto a baking sheet and brush the top with egg yolk for a golden finish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
