Matchsticks

I got this recipe from a friend, and I must say that they are really yummy. The recipe below makes 16 matchsticks. You can adjust the ingredients to make more or less. It is possible to freeze them.




You need
2 sheets of ready rolled puff pastry.
Either whipped cream or really thick cream (about 250 grams).
1 Jar of cottees strawberry conserve (best to get ones without seeds in it).
A wee bit of icing sugar.

Thaw out pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 long strips. Cut those 8 sheets in half (so you should have 16 sheets all up).

Place those sheets onto a greased tray and cook in oven (200 deg C) until golden brown (about 8 minutes).

Remove sheets from oven and leave them to cool completely. The sheets should have risen and therefore they are thicker. Make them thinner by cutting them in half (this creates matching pairs).

Using a spoon, spread some jam across the base of each pair and then put some cream on top of the jam. Put the matching top on the base and sprinkle some icing sugar on top of them all after all are finished.

Eat them with your family and friends. Yum Yum.
