2. Preparation Of The Puffs

A. Preheat the oven to 425 F

B. Thaw the pastry sheet on your countertop for an hour or until it's pliable enough to work with without cracking. Once thawed, take a pastry sheet out of the pack. I used Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry Sheets. 

C. Open it & cut though the folds into three equal strips. 

D. Dust your countertop with some wheat flour. 

E. Dust one side of the pastry strip with some flour & then dust the other side.

F. Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheet a little. 

G. Cut it into two equal squares.

H. Place a tbsp of filling on one of the pastry squares & pull one side onto the egg & then apply some milk wash on the edges & bring the other side over & using your fingers, seal the edges properly. 

I. Repeat the same with the other two sides too.

 

J. Brush the egg puff with milk wash.

K. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. 

L. Place the egg puffs on it & put the tray into ur pre-heated oven & bake at 425 F for 20-22 minutes.

M. Once down, remove it from the oven.

N. Serve the puffs with ketchup & a cup of coffee.

Notes: 

1. Increase or decrease the quantity of spices as per your souls level tolerance. 

2. Adding tomato ketchup makes the puff taste like the one that you get in bakeries. 

3. If you don't have ketchup, replace it with finely chopped tomatoes. 

4. Make sure to seal the edges firmly otherwise they will open up while baking in the oven.
