- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Cheap
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 30 – 34 bites
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry (round, about 8 oz)
- 5.3 oz jam (to taste, I used fig)
- to taste powdered sugar
Steps
Using a cookie cutter with a diameter of about 1.75 inches, cut out an even number of discs from the puff pastry.
One will serve as the base, slightly moisten it and place half a teaspoon of jam on top, leaving the edges free. Be careful: the jam should not be liquid.
Gently stretch the other disc with your hands, place it over the jam-filled one without pressing, but gently. Press the edges to make them stick, seal with the tines of a fork. Make sure to seal them very well, otherwise they will open during baking.
Bake at 356°F for about 8-10 minutes. They should be golden, but not too much.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
Tips and Advice
When placing the top disc, do not press down on the jam; try to place it gently.
You can use any jam you like, as long as it’s not liquid; I’ve used fig jam.
Leave a part of the edge without jam, it will help you seal the bites well.
