Ingredients

1 pkg  (450 g)  frozen butter puff pastry, thawed, or 1 lb/500 g puff pastry dough
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  cream or milk

Preparation

Place pastry on floured work surface and roll each half out to 11-inch/28 cm square (or divide dough in half and roll each out into 11-inch/28 cm square). With 2-1/2-inch/7 cm round cutter, cut into 32 circles.With 1-3/4-inch/4.5 cm round cutter, cut out centres of half of the circles.

Beat yolk with cream to make egg wash; brush some over whole circles. Place cut-out circles over whole circles; brush tops with remaining egg wash. Prick centres well with fork.

Bake on parchment paper–lined baking sheet in 425F/220C oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.

Makes 16 pieces.

Make-ahead: Store in well-sealed container for up to 1 day (although for best texture, prepare the same day as serving).
