Joulutortut
(“Christmas tarts”) are an iconic Finnish Christmas pastry and
they are eaten in most Finnish households at Christmas. Normally they
contain plum jam, but I decided to use raspberry instead, as I'm not
such a big fan of the plum variation. Red is also a nice seasonal
colour for these.
Ingredients for 12 tarts
320 g all butter
puff pastry
12 tsp raspberry
jam
1 tbsp icing sugar
Method
I forgot to take a
photo of the shape how the puff pastry should be cut, so I made a
basic pattern for you. First cut the puff pastry sheet into even
squares, about 7x7 cm. Then cut the corners of each square as shown
below.
Put one teaspoon
of raspberry jam into the middle of each square.
Fold every other
corner to the middle and lightly press them together.
Bake at 220C for
about 10 minutes.
Dust the pastries
with icing sugar and enjoy. Be careful if you eat them straight away
as the jam will be very hot for a while.

they look lovely - must try one year but will not fit it in this year :-(
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe next year then. There's too much good Christmas baking to be done, difficult to decide which ones you manage.
