Customisation Ideas
- Different jams – Swap the strawberry jam for raspberry, apricot, or mixed berry for a unique twist.
- Add a glaze – Brush the pastries with a simple glaze made from icing sugar and water for extra sweetness and shine.
- Decorate with whipped cream – Top the pastries with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
- Try other fruit – Experiment with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even thinly sliced apples for variety.
Tips for Success
- Use chilled pastry – If the puff pastry is too warm, it may not puff up as much in the oven.
- Don’t overfill – Spread just enough jam so it doesn’t spill over the edges during baking.
- Bake in batches – If making a large number, bake in batches to ensure each pastry gets enough space to puff up.
- Watch the oven – Keep an eye on the pastries towards the end to prevent burning, as oven times can vary.
