  2. Cut 8 squares of equal size from the puff pastry sheets (or circles if you prefer).
  3. Place two teaspoons of jam (jelly) on 4 of the pastry squares. On the other 4 pieces, cut criss-crosses for ventilation and for prettiness.

  5. Bake in oven for 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
  6. Allow to cool and enjoy.
