How to Make the Quick Party Puffs
Once you have all your tools and ingredients ready, here’s what you need to do to make the party puffs.
Preheat the oven to 180℃.
Take a puff pastry square sheet.
Using a knife make straight cuts about half a centimeter away from the edges.
Make 4 cuts but just 2 of the opposite edges fully cut. The other 2 cuts do not join them completely and leave some gap between them.
Take one of the fully cut edges and fold it on top of the opposite cut edge which you have cut with the knife.
Repeat for the edge exactly opposite to the one you have folded. It should look like shown in the picture.
Place the marmalade in the depression formed at the center.

Remove from the oven and serve hot.
