Pastry Puffs

These yummy sheets are layers of dough and butter. It is the butter in between the layers of dough which creates air and makes them light and crisp. The possibilties are endless to use this delicate dough. Be it Sweet or Savory! My recipe is one of them. They are so filling but you will want to have more :) For me it is one of the very easy Appetizers which my guests will sure enjoy!
