Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Unfold your Puff Pastry (2 sheets) . Cut each sheet into 9 squares.

Step 3

Spoon 1 tbsp of Jam (180 g) onto half of the squares. Cover each of these squares with one of your non-jammed squares. Pinch the sides. Repeat for the other 8 jam squares.

Step 4

Take a jam-filled squares and place it in your palm. Pinch together the 4 corners to create a dough ball, filled with jam. Place pinched side down on a cutting board. Repeat for the other 8 squares.

Step 5

Cut 8 petals in each pastry ball. I like to cut 4 first, 90 degrees apart, keeping the center in tact of course, and then the other 4 cuts are easy to cut evenly.

Step 6

Take two adjacent petals and twist them away from each other...the right petal will twist clockwise and the left counterclockwise. Continue for the other 3 pairs of petals. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat for the other 8 flowers. 6 max per baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush on the Egg (1) and Water (15 mL) mixture.

Step 8

Bake 18-20 minutes until golden brown rotating the baking sheet half way through. Serve and enjoy!
