Neapolitan Pastry

Make a rich puff paste, roll it out to about one-half inch in thickness, and cut it into strips about two inches wide; lay these on a baking-dish, a little distance from each other so that when they spread they will not join, and bake in a quick oven. Remove and mask half of them with raspberry or strawberry jam, and place the other half on top. Ice them with colored icing, arrange tastefully on a fancy dish, and serve.
