Jelly Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Bring water and butter to a rapid boil. Add 1 cup flour and beat with a fork. Mixture will mound like dough.
• 2. Turn into mixing bowl and add the eggs, one at a time and beat well after each one.
• 3. Spread on a well-greased 11 x 15 inch jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Press down some if it mounds in the middle. Cool.
• 4. Cream softened cream cheese with the pudding and milk. Spread over puff pastry. Top with Cool Whip and then drizzle approximately 1/2 can of Hershey syrup, lengthwise over the dessert. (I only used about 1/4 cup drizzling over top.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
• Taking one of the squares, place 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center.
• Brush egg wash on each side of the square.
• Take each corner and bring them together the seal the jam inside the dough
• Flip so the pinched side is on the underside. Flatten with the palm of your hand until the patty is about 1-inch thick.
• Make 8 even cuts around the circle making sure the cuts do not touch in the center.
• Take 2 of the cut sections and turn them inward to create the heart shape. Repeat with the other 6 sections.
• Repeat with the remaining pastry squares.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
• Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Blend Cheddar cheese, flour, and butter in a food processor until dough is a coarse-meal texture and forms into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven; press thumb into top of each ball, creating an indentation. Spoon about 1 teaspoon pepper jelly into indentation. Bake until edges are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Grease an oven tray and preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 Fahrenheit).
• Cut 8 squares of equal size from the puff pastry sheets (or circles if you prefer).
• Place two teaspoons of jam (jelly) on 4 of the pastry squares. On the other 4 pieces, cut criss-crosses for ventilation and for prettiness.
• Press the criss-crossed pastry pieces on top of the jam covered pieces, and press together all around the edge using a little oil.
• Bake in oven for 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
• Allow to cool and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 -inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or glass 3-inches in diameter, cut circles of dough (re-roll leftover dough).
• Place 1/2 teaspoon each of peanut butter and jelly in the center of each circle - do not spread. Wrap dough around filling and pinch shut. Place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with water or an egg wash, (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water). If desired, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top before baking.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until lightly browned. Serve warm. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving; jelly gets extremely hot. To reheat, place in microwave oven on medium heat, about 5 seconds per puff.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Prepare an egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll one sheet of puff pastry into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle roughly the size of a standard sheet of paper. (Keep the other puff pastry sheet in the refrigerator.) Dust off any excess flour and lay the rolled pastry sheet on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash, and paint a line in lengthwise along the center of the pastry sheet, followed by three crosswise lines, evenly spaced, forming a grid of 8 rectangles, each approximately 3 inches wide and 4 inches long. Brush edges with egg wash. Lay a slice of guava paste in the center of each rectangle (or dot with dollops of jam or preserves, if using). Spread some of the cream cheese, if using, on top of the guava paste (about 1 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese per pastry).
• Remove the second sheet of puff pastry from the refrigerator, and roll it out into an 8-by-11-inch rectangle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the first. Using the side of your palm, press around and between the mounds of filling, pressing out any excess air, and to glue the top pastry to the bottom, creating 8 even, rectangular pockets. Paint the top sheet of puff pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle the surface with sugar.
• Using a knife or bench scraper, cut out and separate the 8 pastelitos following the original grid in between the indentations in the dough. Trim the perimeter to neaten the rectangles. The dough should still be cool to the touch; if it is warm, return the pastelitos to the refrigerator on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up before baking.
• Bake pastelitos until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into six squares. Spoon the jam in the centre of each pastry square. Seal the edges by pressing down with a fork and brush with the egg. Lay on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 mins. Dust with the icing sugar and serve with the clotted cream.
