4. The size depends on how large you want the croissants to be (I made 8 larger ones).

6. Toast the hazelnuts in a pan and also chop them.
7. Add plum jam and mix everything together thoroughly.
8. Spoon the mixture onto the puff pastry in portions and gently roll up the croissants (make sure to seal the corners tightly).
