Blackcurrant Jam Pockets
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. The little envelopes turn out moderately sweet, crispy, and very tasty. Don’t try to put in too much jam. It will either leak out, or the envelopes will open up and the edges will stick up. If the jam is very thick, adding starch is optional. Such envelopes can also be made from yeast puff pastry, but before baking, the envelopes need to stand for 15–20 minutes in a warm place to rise.
