Notes
The key to making fluffy pastries is in the thawing and baking process. Unless you are making your own, you would buy the Puff Pastry frozen from the store. To thaw the pastry, you can leave in the refrigerator for 2- 3 hours or 40-50 mins at room temperature. Always chill in the fridge for 30 mins or in the freezer for 10-15 mins before baking at 400 F.
