Instructions
-
Prepare the Pastry Base:
In a saucepan, combine the butter, vanilla extract, salt, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the butter melts completely. -
Incorporate the Flour:
Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Gradually mix in the flour, stirring continuously. The dough should come together as you stir. Let it cool for a few minutes, just until it is warm to the touch. -
Add the Eggs:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough will become smooth and glossy as you add each egg. -
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Grease a cookie sheet with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the pastry doesn’t stick during baking. Spread the dough evenly across the cookie sheet using a spatula or spoon. -
Bake the Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pastry for about 40 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and firm to the touch. -
Cool and Frost:
Once the pastry has finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely. While it’s cooling, prepare a simple powdered sugar glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of water until it reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastry for a sweet finish.
Enjoy Your Pastry
Once the glaze has set, your Simple Swedish Pastry is ready to be enjoyed. This pastry is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a casual gathering or just indulging in a sweet treat after dinner.
