Yields: 6

Ingredients For Joulutorttu (Finnish Christmas Tarts)
☛ Ready made puff pastry sheets or pie dough(300 g)
☛ Egg wash (1 egg, lightly beaten) or melted butter
☛ 1/2 cup baking-proof plum jam/marmalade, for filling
☛ Powdered sugar for dusting finished tarts

How to Make Joulutorttu (Finnish Christmas Tarts)
1. Preheat your oven to 430°F/225°C . If using frozen pastry sheets, then thaw them at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then cut the each rectangle sheet into 3-inch squares.
2. To make the traditional Finnish torttu (pinwheel/star) shape, use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the corners of the squares towards the center of the tart (about halfway towards the center).
3. Lift every other split corner up and pinch them down in the middle, pressing into the centre with moistened fingers. Make more pinwheels with the remaining squares. Place 1 teaspoon of jam in the center of the square. Repeat the same with all squares.
4. Transfer your pinwheel shaped tarts to a parchment lined baking sheet, placing the tarts at least 1 inch apart.
5. Lightly brush the tops of the tarts with the egg wash (beaten egg) or melted butter to moisten the corners.
6. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Once the tarts are cooled, dust them lightly with sugar. Optional step: Top the centers with 1 teaspoon jam.
7. Enjoy the tarts immediately. Store the tarts in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
