We're on day 7 of lockdown due to the international pandemic, coronavirus COVID-19 and as I stated before in a recent post, we have to come up with was to make homemade tasty treats for yourself or your family.Jam Turnovers are an easy peasy tasty treat, especially for the kids or to enjoy yourself at teatime. This recipe is so easy that your baking skill level can even be zero and you will be able to pull it off.
Ingredients:
1. Roll of readymade puff pastry
2. Jam (I like to use apricot)
3. Milk to brush the pastry
4. Sugar to sprinkle
5. Icing sugar to dust
6. Flour for dusting rolling surface
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees (celsius). Sprinkle a bit of flour on rolling surface or countertop. Roll out the readymade puff pastry onto the surface and you can use a rolling pin if you want to make the puff pastry a little bigger. Cut the pastry into even squares, you will usually get six pieces from one roll of puff pastry.
Place a teaspoon of jam into the middle of each square and fold over into a triangle. Press the ends down firmly so the turnover is sealed and the jam can't escape when baking.
Baste the turnovers with milk and sprinkle normal sugar over it, I like to use brown sugar. Place into a greased baking tray and bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Once done, remove from oven and dust with icing sugar and let it cool a bit and then enjoy your easy tasty treat.
