Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Make the filling
5 min
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Toss the cherries with the sugar, cinnamon, and potato starch.
Fill the pastry
10 min
Unroll the pastry sheet onto parchment paper. Sprinkle the walnuts lengthwise down the center and spread the cherries over them. Roll up the pastry into a strudel, press the ends closed, and place it seam-side down.
Bake
35 min
Brush the top with the beaten egg, cut several slits in the surface, and bake for 30–35 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F), until golden.
Serve
Let cool, dust with powdered sugar, and slice.

Tip: Pit the cherries over a bowl and leave the released juice out of the strudel to keep the bottom of the pastry from getting soggy.
