These 3-ingredient pastry flowers are ridiculously easy to make, and are sure to impress your friends. Use your favorite jam, or try my recipe for cardamom quince jam!
Unfold your pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 9 squares.
Spoon 2-3 tsp of jam onto each of the squares.
Take a jam-filled squares and place it in your palm. Pinch together the 4 corners to create a dough ball, filled with jam. Place pinched side down on a cutting board. Repeat for the other 8 squares.
Cut 8 petals in each pastry ball. I like to cut 4 first, 90 degrees apart (keeping the center in tact of course) and then the other 4 cuts are easy to cut evenly.
Take two adjacent petals and twist them away from each other...the right petal will twist clockwise and the left counterclockwise. Continue for the other 3 pairs of petals. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat for the other 8 flowers. 6 max per baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash.
Bake 18-20 minutes until golden brown rotating the baking sheet half way through.
