Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Knife or Pizza Cutter
- Fork
- Pastry Brush
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry thawed
- ½ cup jam of your choice strawberry, apricot, berry, etc.
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
- raw or turbinado sugar for sprinkling
- flour for dusting
Instructions
- Lightly dust your surface with flour. Roll each puff pastry sheet slightly larger, about 10–11 inches square.
- Cut each sheet into 9 even squares using a knife or pizza cutter (18 total).
- Gently prick the center of each square with a fork to prevent over-puffing.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each square. Don’t overfill!
- Brush the edges with beaten egg. Bring all four corners to the center and pinch or twist to seal.
- Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with raw sugar.
- Place tarts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 15–20 minutes, until puffed and golden.
- Cool for at least 30 minutes before enjoying — the jam will be very hot.
Notes
Use any fruit jam you love. Try forming into triangles or circles for variation. For extra shine, dust with powdered sugar after baking.
