Here's a festive recipe using The Chocolate Box's own Raspberry Framboise Sauce. It's pretty easy. Like I usually say "If I can make them, anyone can! TM".INGREDIENTS
A tablespoon or two of The Chocolate Box's Raspberry Framboise Sauce
2 sheets of puff pastry (each sheet makes 16 stars)
1 Freerange Egg
1 Tablespoon Water
White icing for decoration
IMPLEMENTS Greaseproof baking paper Basting brush Baking tray Bowl Spoon, fork, knife INSTRUCTIONS 1. Take out and defrost one sheet of puff pastry. Cut into about 16 squares. Preheat oven to about 200•C. 2. Create cuts in all four corners of each sheet, as shown. If you want to make them a bit thinner than mine, you could try rolling out the dough to be a bit finer. 3. Spoon on a little bit of Raspberry Framboise Sauce into the centre of the stars. I find that you actually don't need very much. 4. Fold over one startip from each corner into the centre, until you make a pinwheel shape. See diagram at right. Make sure that you press the dough together at the centre of each star, otherwise the stars might not keep their shape. 5. Place stars carefully on greaseproof baking paper on an oven tray. 6. Whisk one egg and a tablespoon of water in a bowl, and with a brush, brush them over the pastries. This is what gives the pastries their golden brown colour. 7. Cook for about 15-20 minutes at about 150-180•C. Remove when lightly browned. 8. To finish, sift a little bit of white icing powder over the top for decoration. |     |

As an interesting variation, you can try adding dessicated coconut to the raspberry framboise sauce before using in the recipe.
