Hindbærsnitter

Raspberry Slices

To make hindbærsnitter, puff pastry is rolled out and cut into rectangles. Raspberry jam is then spread onto one half of each rectangle, and the other half is folded over to create a sandwich. The edges are then crimped together and the pastry is baked until golden brown. Hindbærsnitter has a flaky, buttery texture and a sweet, fruity flavor that is perfect for a mid-day snack or dessert.
