- 1 box (two sheets per box) puff pastry sheets
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour optional
Allow the pastry sheets to thaw (if previously frozen) in the refrigerator for 6 hours (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 Celsius).
Remove one pastry sheet from the package at a time and lightly roll (or pat) the creases from the dough, using additional flour (if needed) to prevent sticking. Discard the paper.
Use the larger circle cutter to cut 12 circles completely through the dough. Place the dough circles onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Use the smaller cutter to score (not fully cut), an inner circle in the dough. You will use this as a guide from which to remove the center of the dough to form the "cup" once baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes (center rack) until the puffs are puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly until you're able to handle them without being burned.
Using the center score as a guide, use a paring knife to gently cut the center from each puff, removing layers of dough (from the center if needed) to form a neat cup.
Follow the same procedure with the second sheet of dough and allow the cups to cool completely before adding your choice of filling.
Store the baked cups in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
May be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw and fill.
