Steps to Make Tangerine Puff Pastry Dessert
1. Prepare the Tangerine Syrup
Peel the tangerines and separate them into individual slices.
In a small saucepan, combine 5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, and about 100 ml of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the tangerine slices to the syrup and simmer for 3–5 minutes until they become slightly tender and glossy. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 200℃ (392℉).
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it’s even and thin. Cut it into your desired shapes—squares, circles, or rectangles work well.
Place the pastry shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick them lightly with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Allow them to cool completely.
