Jam Roll-Up

Ingredients

1 prepared 9-inch piecrust
All-purpose flour
Jam or preserves
Vegetable shortening
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. water

Directions

Have your child unfold the piecrust onto a lightly floured surface and spread a thin layer of jam or preserves onto the dough.

With a butter knife, cut the crust into 20 pie slices, then roll up each wedge starting at its wider edge.

Chill the roll-ups for at least 1 hour so that they will retain their shapes during baking.

When you're ready to bake the roll-ups, heat the oven to 450 degrees.

Then line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease the foil with shortening. Place the chilled pastries on the baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned, then remove the sheet from the oven and transfer the pastries to a cooling rack.

Now have your child stir together the confectioners' sugar and water in a bowl until smooth. Then he can spread the glaze onto the cooled pastries and serve them to Mom.
