what you do?
Mix all ingredients and roll out?

Hi!
I usually make the paste and marmelade a day before making the stars
Blend the eggs and cream together an whip to its foaming, then put in the mixed flour with baking powder and mix it well and then you put in the softy whiped butter and work it in, when you done put the paste into fridge for least 2 hours before so its get cold and firm.
marmelade, boil dried seedless plums and some water and sugar and mix.
I will send some pictures

It means whipping cream the one you whip to its thick so you can decorate cakes, does this help?

Easy method:


Roll out a sheet of puff pastry thin enough to cut 16 squares about 3″ x 3″.

Cut each corner towards the middle of the square, leaving enough room for a little dab of jam. Fold alternating corners into the middle, making a little pinwheel.

Seal the corners with a small drop of water.

Bake on parchment paper at 350 degrees until golden, about 10 minutes.

When they're done baking, dust them with powdered sugar.

Prune Filling:

1 lb. pitted prunes
4 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
Dash of nutmeg or ground cloves


Boil prunes and water until soft. Drain and mash or grind. Add sugar and nutmeg. Simmer until thick.

[Nativity]

Easy Prune Filling:

2 (8-ounce) jars (baby food) junior pack prunes
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh or bottled lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cloves

In small saucepan, over low heat, simmer prunes, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon about 15 minutes or til slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool.

I'm lazy and like to use baby food prunes!

5dl = 17 oz
Double cream has 48% fat and easiest for whipping

Hi! Oh I´m glad that someone else also knows how to make the stars, and have given more info how to make them and I don´t have to count out the difference between our degrees, we have celsius in our ovens. 225-250 degrees celsius isn´t 440-480 degrees fahrenheit?

Or use 1 dl = 100 ml = 0.1 liter.
