Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 tablespoons jam (any preferred flavor, e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to ensure it's an even thickness, approximately 10x12 inches.

Step 3

Spread the jam evenly over one half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/4-inch border along the edges to prevent spillage.

Step 4

Fold the plain half of the pastry sheet over the jam-covered half, aligning the edges to create a sandwich.

Step 5

Gently press down on the edges to seal them slightly.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded pastry into 12 strips, approximately 1-inch wide.

Step 7

Take each strip and twist the ends in opposite directions to create a spiral effect. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create the egg wash. Brush the tops of each pastry strip lightly with the egg wash.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle granulated sugar on top for extra sweetness and texture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the jam straws are golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gorgeous homemade jam straws!
