Found this recipe in a Women's Day quite some time ago, but we just love 'em - mind you doesn't do the waistline any good though.
JAM PATTY TARTS
340g pkt butter cake mix (B&G one is good)
5 1/2 sheets froz puff pastry
1 cup raspberry jam
icing sugar, for dusting (there gone before I get to this stage)
1. Preheat oven to hot, 200 deg C
2. Prepare cake following packet instructions
3. Using 6.5cm round cutter, cut discs from pastry, reserving offcuts
4.Line 4 12-hole patty pans with pastry. Place 1 tsp jam into each pastry case. Cover with a Tblsp of cake batter
5. Using reserved pastry, cut 1.5cm circles and place one of top of each patty cake
6. Bake 12-15 minutes, until puffed and golden. Allow to cool in pans. Dust with icing sugar to serve. Store in airtight container.
Makes 48 Prep Time: 30mins Cook 15 mins.
Now for MY tips:
As the B&G cake mix uses 2 eggs, you can quite easily only make up half at a time, and with only half the cake mix made you only need 1 1/3 sheets of pastry to make twelve tarts using an egg ring as cutter. I also only use about a dtsp of cake mixture in each tart. As regards the round 'tops' - blow that, I just cut little squares out of the bits of pastry from between the main circles for the tarts and place them on top.
Oh, and you can use any jam you like.

Thank you so much Pejay for not saying " Jam Cup Tarts." I get so fed up with people using American Terminology for Patty Cakes, among other things.
We're getting far too Americanised. At this rate, we should just become another American State. We are Australian. We should be using our own terminology.
Rant finished.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Hi Pejay, these sound like great tarts so will give them a go.Could you tell me if the 200c is fan forced ,if not do you know what to set the temp on.
Thanks
Mrs T
No worries about the rant - think the same myself. Some time ago I purchased a cup-cake maker from Aldi - man, it is fabulous!! However, I still call them patty cakes/tarts. I like making little savoury thingy's in it, not just sweet ones that really are no good for the waistline, particularly when you are still trying to find your waistline in the first place!!
Hi Mrs T,
No, it is for an 'ordinary' oven, because you need the higher heat for the puff pastry. Not sure what the differences in temp. are for a fan-forced oven - sorry.
