    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.
    • 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.
    • Let the dish cool down before serving them. The dish will be too delicate to serve if it is fresh from the oven, hence you need to give it at least 5 minutes to cool down.

    Some Variations

    • Use blueberry jam for the recipe instead of the classic strawberry jam, and then top it with chopped blueberries rather than the typical powdered sugar.
    • If powdered sugar is not available in your cupboard, you can substitute it with granulated sugar. Granulated sugar will also do the trick of sweetening the dish.
