If you are looking for a simple quick sweets ideal for brunch buffet or a little afternoon snack, these hazelnut twists are an ideal choice. They are made in about 30 minutes, and for them you need several ingredients.
Making these little pastries is super simple as the recipe features ready-made puff pastry and simple filling made of toasted hazelnuts, marzipan, egg, Amaretto, pinch of salt and some citrus zest.
What makes these easy puff pastry twists delicious is filling made of GROUND TOASTED HAZELNUTS, MARZIPAN, BROWN SUGAR and EGG - scented with refreshing citrus zest and a dash of Amaretto.
The flavour of toasted hazelnuts pairs great with almondy notes of marzipan and Amaretto liqueur. You can blitz the hazelnuts in a mini food-processor or grind them in nut grinder - it's up to you. Important thing is to grind them very finely.
We used fresh rolled puff pastry but feel free to use frozen one if you like. The dimensions of our puff pastry was 26x40cm. Roll out the pastry then cut into two.
Brush one piece with water and spread the filling evenly using a spoon. Top with another piece of pastry, then using a sharp knife cut into 1-1.5cm long strips. Half each strip and twist to expose the filling and place on the baking sheet.
These hazelnut twists only take 10 minutes to bake. Preheat the oven temperature to 200°C (392°F) and bake until they are puffed and golden.
Don't open the oven during the baking time. Take them from the oven dust with some icing sugar and enjoy immediately. Serve while still warm!
