Prepare half a pound of puff paste (No. 1132), which roll into a long
band three inches wide and nearly a quarter of an inch thick, have it
upon your slab before you, then place rolls of jam an inch and a half in
length, as thick as your little finger and two inches apart, in the
centre; wet the edges all along and fold the paste over, press down with
your finger round each piece of marmalade, cut them out with a knife,
sprinkle a baking-sheet with water, upon which lay them; egg over, and
with the point of a knife sketch a leaf upon each, cutting nearly
through the paste, bake them nicely in a moderate oven, and when done
sift sugar over and glaze with the salamander, dress them round upon a
border of apple marmalade when cold, or dress in pyramid. Any kind of
sweetmeat may be used for these kinds of gateaux, but observe it
requires to be very firm, for if soft it would run from the paste, and
give them a bad appearance.
