Note: This recipe was made using two large, restaurant-style puff pastry sheets. When using pastry sheets from your local grocer, substitute about 8 pastry sheets to yield 24 rounds. Recipe requires a 24-cup Nonstick Mini Muffin Pan (or two 12-cup pans) and a round cookie cutter (crinkled or plain).
Tips & Techniques
When thawing pastry, remove paper underneath sheets.
Dust cutting board (or other surface) with flour to prevent sticking.
Frozen puff pastry generally thaws within 10-15 minutes.
