Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 10cm squares.
Cut slits from each corner toward the center, stopping about 2cm from the middle.
Place a teaspoon of prune jam in the center of each square.
Fold every other corner point into the center, pressing firmly to seal and create a pinwheel star shape.
Beat the egg with water and brush each pastry lightly for a golden finish.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 220C for 10-12 minutes until puffed and deeply golden.
Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve with coffee or glogi (mulled wine).
Säilytysohjeet
Store at room temperature for 2 days in an airtight container. Best served fresh the same day for maximum puff. Freeze unbaked assembled pastries for 1 month and bake from frozen.
Kulttuurinen tausta
The iconic star shape of joulutorttu symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem. Cutting and folding the puff pastry into pinwheel stars is a beloved Christmas baking activity for Finnish families, often done while drinking glogi (mulled wine).
