Brush Egg White on Before Baking Easy Danish Puff Pastry

J.McGavin

The last step before baking these easy, puff pastry turnovers is to brush with an egg white which has been whisked with a tablespoon of water.

If you like, sprinkle coarse sugar, Hagelzucker or Perlzuker (shown here) over the pastry for decoration.

You can also wait until the Danish are out of the oven and drizzle them with a simple icing.
