Preparation
Step 1
Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Mash mixture with a potato masher until the berries are softened and sugar is dissolved.
Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
Boil, stirring often to prevent mixture from sticking to pan, until thick, about 5 minutes.
Cool to room temperature.
Place one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured, movable, flat surface, such as a lightweight cutting board.
Lightly dust surface of pastry with flour and roll to smooth creases.
Spread pastry sheet with 1/3 cup of the strawberry mixture. (Refrigerate any remaining strawberry mixture for up to 5 days.)
Roll the second sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases; place on top of first sheet and press down gently.
Place filled puff pastry in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat.
Using a ruler as a guide, cut into pastry into 1 1/2-inch strips.
Carefully pick up strips and place on baking sheets, twisting 3 times before laying down.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
