Jam Puffs Recipes

JAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Add 1 scant tablespoon of jam in the middle of the puff pastry square.
• Fold over to form a triangle shape.
• Using the back of the spoon to press on the edges. Make sure the openings are sealed tight.
• Brush the melted butter on the surface and top with some coarse sugar.
• Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the puff pastry turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

PUFF PASTRY JAM TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside
• Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 9 equal squares.
• Place the squares on the parchment paper on top of the baking tray. Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of each square.
• Fold the pastry so it forms a triangle. (see step-by-step photos in post above). Firmly press down the edges of the pastry with a fork. Make sure they are firmly pressed together.
• Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg. Peirce holes in the top of each turnover with a fork.
• Bake between 18 - 20 minutes or until golden and puffed up. Remove from oven to cool.
• Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar with the milk. Stir until it becomes smooth, about 30 seconds to a minute.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers. Can serve immediately or store in and airtight container in the fridge up to three days.

AMY'S STRAWBERRY JAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200c (or whatever the pastry packet recommends).
• Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal-sized pieces (keep them rectangular).
• put a teaspoonful or so of jam in the middle of each pastry rectange.
• fold up two opposite corners of the pastry and join in the middle (like a danish). You'll also need to curl up the other two corners of the pastry because otherwise when the pastry puffs up the jam will get pushed off onto the baking tray.
• Place on a baking tray (I like to grease with some 1-cal cooking spray) and brush the top of each pastry with milk/egg.
• Bake for approximately 10-15 mins or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
• Cool for a few minutes before serving (because the jam gets HOT).

VERY EASY DANISH (JAM FILLED PUFF PASTRY)

Steps:

• Grease an oven tray and preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 Fahrenheit).
• Cut 8 squares of equal size from the puff pastry sheets (or circles if you prefer).
• Place two teaspoons of jam (jelly) on 4 of the pastry squares. On the other 4 pieces, cut criss-crosses for ventilation and for prettiness.
• Press the criss-crossed pastry pieces on top of the jam covered pieces, and press together all around the edge using a little oil.
• Bake in oven for 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
• Allow to cool and enjoy.
