Description
Flaky and golden puff pastry hearts filled with sweet jam, perfect for brunch or a special treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- Fruit preserves of your choice (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into heart shapes using a cookie cutter.
- Place half of the heart shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon a small amount of fruit preserves onto the center of each heart.
- Place the remaining heart shapes on top and seal the edges with a fork.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For extra charm, make tiny vents with the tip of a knife before the egg wash. Keep the puff pastry cold and work quickly to maintain the butter’s solidity.
