You’re going to love these puff pastries. They’re quick to make, and it’s possible you might have all the ingredients you need at hand. If you don’t have the exact ingredients… improvise a bit. One of my instructors said that all chefs are really mad scientists in disguise. When I do a catering job, I often make a smaller version of these, and no matter how many I make… I never seem to make enough. Well, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
