nutella pockets

This is a super quick post because it is a super quick recipe.

While playing with puff pastry and making char siu sou the other day, I had some pastry left and I wondered what to do with it.

I am a huge fan of Nutella, so I figured that chocolate pockets were the way to go since they are super fast, and well, super yummy.

I mean, how can one possibly go wrong with Nutella?

I took a sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry and cut 4 squares out of it. On each square, I placed a tablespoon of Nutella.

I used a pasrty brush to brush some egg wash on the edges.

Then I took one corner and folded the pastry into a triangle.

I used a fork to seal the edges.

And I egg washed the pastry.

They were baked.

And allowed to cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes before I cooled them completely on a wire rack.

Needless to say, these did not hang around for very long.
