Ingredients

Servings: 48
  • 1 pack of (450 g; 4 slices) deep-frozen puff pastry
  • 200 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 70 g Icing sugar
  • 200 g Raspberry and black currant jelly
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the puff pastry slices next to each other and let them thaw for about 15 minutes. Knead marzipan with 50 g icing sugar. Roll out marzipan on a work surface lightly dusted with 20 g icing sugar and cut out a total of 48 stars (4/6 cm Ø). In the meantime, knead the marzipan remains and roll out again. Put 3 slices of puff pastry in the fridge. Roll out 1 puff pastry slice on a lightly floured work surface (22 x 28 cm). Cut out 24 stars and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Prick each star 2 times with a fork. Warm the jelly. Brush the stars thinly with jelly. Cover each star with a marzipan star and brush with jelly. Roll out 1 puff pastry disc (22 x 28 cm) and cut out 24 stars with a star cutter of the same size with an inner star. Place the outer star on the marzipan, fill the centre with some jelly (warm up again if necessary). Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/ convection oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 4) for 8-10 minutes. Take out and let cool down. Do the same with the last two puff pastry slices and the remaining marzipan stars. Place small puff pastry stars from the middle on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for approx. 5 minutes. If necessary, place the small stars in the middle of the large stars on the jelly for decoration.

    Tip: Carefully pile up puff pastry remnants and roll them out again. Sprinkle plate with e.g. salt or cheese, cut into strips and bake. Store salt or cheese sticks in a tightly closing tin
