Jam-filled pastries
Description
Ready-made puff pastry is a lifesaver for today's home cook. Making puff pastry from scratch at home is a lengthy process. In my freezer, there's always a packet or two of frozen puff pastry. From it, you can bake many delicious treats. I'd like to show you how to make jam-filled pastries using exactly this kind of pastry. It's very simple, very quick, and leaves no messy dishes in the kitchen. True, these tasty pastries disappear quickly too. So here's a recipe for jam-filled pastries with photos. Make them and enjoy the results!

Step 1
Take the ready-made puff pastry out of the freezer and thaw it at room temperature. Then roll it out into a sheet 2-3 mm thick. To prevent the dough from sticking to the table and rolling pin, sprinkle with flour. Cut the dough into rectangles.

Step 5
Cover the filling with the part that has cuts, and carefully seal the edges. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the top of each pastry with beaten egg. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, dust the pastries with powdered sugar.
