Faq

  • What should I do if the puff pastry isn't getting golden?

    Adjust your oven temperature slightly higher and keep a close watch to prevent burning.

  • Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?

    Yes, fresh cherries work well too. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the cherries.

  • How thin should I spread the cherry layer?

    A single, even layer is best to ensure uniform baking and flavor distribution.

  • Is it okay to prepare this pastry in advance?

    It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare and assemble it a few hours ahead, refrigerate, and then bake just before serving.

  • What other nuts can I use for garnish?

    Almonds or walnuts also complement the cherries beautifully. Feel free to experiment!

  • Can I add a touch of lemon zest for extra flavor?

    Absolutely! A bit of lemon zest can add a refreshing, tangy note to your pastry.
