Puff Pastry Jam Tarts
With a flaky, buttery pastry base plus a tart, sweet, and fruity jam centre, these puff pastry jam tarts are nostalgic, scrumptious, and easy to whip up in a hurry.
Ingredients
- 240 g puff pastry ready rolled
- 9 teaspoons strawberry jam (1 tsp per tart)
- 1 egg yolk*
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar powdered sugar in the U.S., optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220℃ (428℉).
- Cut a square sheet of 240 g puff pastry into nine smaller squares.
- Next, use a cookie cutter or small bowl to create a round indent in the centre of each square. Use a fork to prick each circle multiple times (this will prevent puffing in that area).
- Crack a small egg and carefully separate the white from the yolk. Whisk 1 egg yolk* until smooth.
- Take 9 teaspoons strawberry jam. Carefully spoon 1 teaspoon of jam into the centre of each square.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the eggs with egg yolk*.
- Place on a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until evenly browned and puffed.
- Optionally, take 1 tablespoon icing sugar and dust each tart with a small amount. You can cover the centre to avoid covering the jam if preferred.
Notes
* You can skip this (although your tarts won't be as lovely and golden) or replace the egg yolk with non-dairy milk or aquafaba to make these puff pastry jam tarts 100% vegan.
