Pillsbury Makes Breakfast Easy!

Pillsbury sent me a boat load of crescent rolls, cinnamon rolls, an abundance of biscuits and our family was stoked because, it smells like a bakery in the house when these sweet things are baking up.

It always makes everyone gather to the kitchen, that’s for sure, because no one can resist that heavenly aroma!  Have you ever been able to?  Umm…NO! 🙂  It’s impossible!

Using the Pillsbury™ crescent rolls are so convenient when you are making your strudels.  Have you ever had the Toaster Strudels that Pillsbury™makes that are already prepared ?  All you do is put them in the toaster and then glaze them! I’m sure you have…LOL

These are like that, only these are semi-homemade and taste homemade!  We’re using crescent rolls and making a fresh Raspberry pastry filling.  This really takes pastry strudels up a notch.  And that lemon glaze is just amazing on top!

Ingredients You Need for Raspberry Lemon Pastry Strudels Recipe

• 1 8 ounce package Pillsbury™ Butter Flake Crescent Dinner Rolls or Pastry Sheet

Raspberry Pastry Filling

• fresh or frozen raspberries cut in half
• granulated sugar
• cornstarch
• To make seedless, 1 tablespoon water

Lemon Glaze

• confectioners’ sugar

How to Make Raspberry Lemon Pastry Strudels 

1. Preheat oven @ 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by placing parchment paper on it and set aside.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and divide crescent rolls into the 4 rectangles. Pinch together the crescent triangle in the middle of each rectangle gently with your fingertips, so the filling doesn’t come out when you bake them.

Raspberry Pastry Filling with Seeds Option

1. Combine the raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Toss to coat.

Or Raspberry Pastry Filling without Seeds Option

1. Add frozen raspberries to a medium pot and heat over medium-high until berries break down, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Bring raspberries to a light boil, stir in sugar, and return to a boil.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together corn starch and water and pour into the raspberries.
4. Stir the mixture vigorously for 1 minute and then remove from heat and and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.

Adding the Raspberry Filling

1. Spoon the filling over ½ of each dough rectangle, then fold the other ½ of the dough over the top bringing the dough ends together. Use a fork and pinch the sides of the dough down.
2. Using a spatula, place rolls on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake according to package directions
3. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the strudels and sides of the pastry with some milk. (I used almond milk.)
4. Bake for 15-16 minutes @ 350. Should be puffed up and a golden brown.

Make the Lemon Glaze

• Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over warm Pastry Strudels. (Double recipe for glaze if you want more glaze). Serve!

Other Substitutions

You could also use any kind of jam or preserves and flavor your icing to compliment your choice of jam. You could also use Pillsbury™ Crescent Dough Sheet.

Helpful Tips Making Raspberry Lemon Pastry Strudel Recipe

• I made my own raspberry filling, but you can buy it already prepared and you can prepare the raspberry filling 2 ways.  With raspberry seeds or no seeds.  It just depends what your taste is and the *deets* are in the instructions.
• For the lemon glaze, we preferred a thicker glaze with the tartness of the lemon and raspberry, and it was soooo yummy!  Double the glaze ingredients if you want more glaze. 
• If you have any left over, seal and refrigerate them a day or two to keep them from breaking down. 
• The fam will want these every day…watch out! 🙂  Not sorry for sharing this easy strudel recipe!

Lemon and raspberry together are definitely a super power combo.  This easy-to-make strudel recipe is like the best thing ever to bite into when you want a quick and easy fruity treat!
