METHOD

1. 01In a small bowl, combine ingredients for Lemon Glaze (lemon juice and confectioners' sugar) and whisk together. The consistency should be slightly thick but runny. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. 02While waiting for the pastry sheet to thaw, wash fruits and drain well. Chop into small pieces if necessary.
3. 03Once 2 pastry sheets are thawed, unfold them on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter, cut each pastry sheet into 9 circles. Gather the scraps, roll them into a ball, re-roll, and cut additional circles (you should yield approximately 24 circles from 2 sheets).
4. 04Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Beat the egg and water in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
5. 05Place half of the pastry circles (about 12) onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place a small amount of your chosen fruits in the center of each circle. Optionally, sprinkle a little bit of sugar over the fruit.
6. 06After filling, brush the edges of the pastry circles with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
7. 07Place the remaining pastry circles on top of the fruit filling.
8. 08Press the edges of the circles firmly with a fork to seal them securely.
9. 09Using a kitchen knife, make 2 small slits on top of each pastry and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash using a pastry brush.
10. 10Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are a nice golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool slightly.
11. 11Drizzle the prepared lemon glaze generously over the cooled pastries.
