Powdered sugar (for dusting)
How to make
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares or circles (approx. 8–10 cm).
Place 3–4 tangerine segments in the center of each piece.
Fold the pastry into a triangle or bundle and pinch the edges to seal.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
