- Combine balsamic vinegar and caster sugar in a medium bowl.
- Cut stawberries into quarters lengthways. Add to balsamic vinegar and stir. Set aside, stiring every 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200 Degrees C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- On a clean working surface lay out the puff pastry sheet. Cut in half. Cut 8 long triangles out of each piece. Brush with egg yolks and transfer to baking trays with at least 3cm between each strip. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden and fully puffed up. Remove from oven, cool and remove from baking paper with a spatula. Set aside.
