• Now turn the squares so one corner is pointing at the top, Place a tbsp of the jam into the centre of each larger square. Brush with the egg wash, Fold the two side corners in and then the bottom up to meet them. Place a small heart on the join. Repeat with the smaller ones with about 1/3 tsp of jam.
• Brush all with the egg wash and then place the larger ones in the air fryer and bake on Air Fry for 8 mins at 160c until golden, the smaller ones will take 4 mins to bake. Serve straight away.

Can be eaten cold too, keep in the fridge once cold and eat within 2 days.
