  2. Roll Out the Pastry: Dust a clean countertop with flour and roll each sheet of puff pastry to 10x12 inches and about an eighth of an inch thick.
  3. Cut the Pastry: Slice each sheet into six equal rectangles, about 4x5 inches, ensuring clean edges.
  4. Fill the Pastry: Place a tablespoon of chilled filling in the center of each rectangle. Fold over the top, seal edges, and twist the ends.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk egg and water together for egg wash, then lightly coat tops of twists.
