Notes
- Keep the puff pastry cold while you work with it. If it becomes too soft or sticky, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before continuing.
- Don’t overfill the centers. Use 1–2 teaspoons of jam so the filling stays in the center as the pastry bakes.
- Press the folded points firmly into the center to help the pinwheel shape stay in place during baking.
- Make certain the oven is fully preheated to 425°F before baking.
- Use one batch of homemade puff pastry or both sheets from a package of store-bought puff pastry.
- Transfer the baked pastries to a cooling rack after they come out of the oven.
