Step 1: prepare the dough.

Defrost the finished puff pastry (let stand for 15-20 minutes at room temperature) and cut each of the four plates into 4 approximately identical parts. As a result, we get 16 puffs. Then, pour a little flour on the board and distribute it evenly over the entire surface with your hand, also dust a little the plate of dough that we are going to roll out. We roll each sliced ​​plate with a rolling pin in one direction a little. We do this with all the plates of puff pastry.

Step 2: Make puffs.

The procedure is described for the manufacture of one puff, all others are made in the same way. Drive the egg into the bowl, but first you need to separate the yolk from the protein, this can be done by hand or using a separator. We need protein. Dip the brush for lubrication into the protein and gently grease the edges of the puff. We collect jam with a tablespoon and put it on a puff, distributing it a little over the surface. We cover the puff with jam with a free plate, stretching and pressing the edges a little so that the dough sticks together well. We fix the edges of the puff with a fork (as on pasties). Thus we make 8 puffs.

Step 3: Bake the puffs.

Using the same brush, generously grease the kitchen table with vegetable oil and carefully lay the finished puffs directly on it. Let them soak for 1.5-2 hours at room temperature. After the time has elapsed, turn on the oven and set temperature setting at 200 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with a brush with the same vegetable oil and carefully transfer our future pies onto it. We send a baking sheet with puffs to a preheated oven and bake them minutes 15-20.

Step 4: serve to the table.

We take out the baking sheet with ready-made puffs from the oven, carefully transfer them to a tray and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Everything, puffs with jam are ready - serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

It is quite possible to replace jam with confiture, for example, cherry.

In the recipe, the proportions of the ingredients are only for two servings. To make more puffs, double or triple the ingredients accordingly.

Jam puffs are incredibly fragrant, appetizing and easy to prepare. Crispy weightless dough and juicy sweet filling conquer the harmony of perfection. Forming cookies does not take much time. Especially if you use a ready-made foundation. A minimum of components allows you to end up with a large portion of luxurious pastries for one or two.

Features of cooking puffs with puff pastry jam

The foundation

We take yeast or yeast-free. In both cases it will be fine.

The question of buying or preparing dough at home is decided by the hostess. In the first case it will be fast, in the second it will be harmless. It is known that in order to reduce the cost, manufacturers take margarine of not the best quality for the base. At home, you can use butter with a fat content of 72 percent or more.

Filling for puff pastry with jam

Be sure to choose a thick jam. Jam is great, as it does not spread and due to this it does not burn, going beyond the dough. It is not pleasant when the smell of burnt jam hovers in the kitchen.

1. Puff pastry must be thawed beforehand. On average, a semi-finished product weighing 500 g may take 2 hours. You can transfer the frozen dough from the freezer to the refrigerator in the evening and then by morning it will be ready for further use. This is the most gentle way of defrosting, which allows you to maintain the quality of the semi-finished product.

   The thawed dough should be laid out on a floured table and sprinkled with flour on top. It should be rolled out to a thickness of 3-4 mm. You need to do this by moving the rolling pin always in one direction: only away from you or only towards you. This precaution is necessary to preserve the layering of the dough.
   

2. Next, cut the cake into squares measuring 10 by 10 cm. This must also be done carefully so as not to pull the dough. A round pizza cutter or kitchen scissors work best. If, apart from a regular knife, there is nothing at hand, then they do not need to cut, but push through the dough.
   
   
3. After that, fold one square in half diagonally. Then make two cuts with scissors parallel to the short sides of the triangle, stepping back from the edge of 1 cm. The cuts should not be connected.
   
   
4. After that, the square must be returned to its original state.
   
   
5. Lay the separated strips criss-cross.
   
   
6. In the center of the resulting figure, put a teaspoon of apricot jam.
   
   
7. In the same way, it is necessary to form and fill the rest of the puff pastry squares with the filling. The resulting blanks must be carefully transferred to a baking sheet covered with parchment. Leave some space between the puffs as the dough will expand significantly during baking.
   
   
8. Bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. During this time, the dough will rise well and lightly browned.
   
   
9. Transfer the puffs to a plate to cool completely. After baking, the filling will be in the recess. If desired, you can add another spoonful of jam, crushed nuts or pieces of fruit from jam there. Sprinkle the cooled pastries with powdered sugar. Enjoy the treat with the whole family, serve it with tea or coffee. If you follow your figure, then remember that the calorie content of jam puffs is quite high and is about 400 Kcal per 100 g of finished baking.
