Variations & Substitutions

- You may brush melted butter around your puff pastry sheets. By doing this, you will be giving each Puff Pastry Jam Tart a shiny and almost golden appearance.
How to Make Puff Pastry Jam Tarts?

One: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 356F.

Three: Place the jam tarts onto a baking sheet.
Four: Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then sprinkle the powdered sugar on top.
Top Tips!
- Don't fill the puff pastry tarts with too much jam. It will cause too much mess inside the oven when you bake it, requiring you more time to clean your kitchen.
