    1 Puff Pastry sheet
  • Use a cookie cutter (I used a 5cm / 2 inch round cookie cutter) to score a circle in the middle of the pastry by pressing the cutter 3/4 of the way down without cutting all the way through.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with a whisked egg, avoiding the cut-out circle in the middle.
    1 Egg
  • Add a heaped teaspoon of jam in the centre of the cut-out circle.
    9 tsp Jam
  • Bake the jam puff pastry tarts in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up and the colour is golden brown.

Notes

How To Stop The Jam From Bubbling Over

Only use a heaped teaspoon of jam and avoid adding anymore (though it might be tempting). If your jam is of a runny consistency, stick to using a standard teaspoon of jam and spoon into the middle (it doesn't have to fill the whole circle).
