   Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured surface to about 3 mm thick, then cut into 7.5 cm (3-inch) triangles.

4. 4

   Place a small spoonful of jam in the centre of each triangle. Roll up from the wide end to form a croissant shape.

5. 5

   Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden. Repeat with remaining dough.

   Cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
