- Press each slices with your thumb to stretch it a little, then add a small dollop of jam (about ½ teaspoon), then seal, into a half moon shape.
- Do this with each slice then place on a lined baking tray (you can use the baking paper the pastry comes in or any non-stick baking paper. Leave a bit of room between the pastries.

Notes
- You may use your favourite jam for these pastries.
- Don't worry if you add a little too much jam, it will ooze out but go toffee like and glorious.
- Do not eat when hot! The jam is like hot lava inside and you will burn your mouth.
- These are best served fresh, but can be kept in the fridge overnight and added to lunchboxes the next day.
