How To Make Vol Au Vent Shells ( From puff pastry sheets)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 400°F).

Lay down the pre-made puff pastry on a silicone mat.

Use a large cookie cutter (8 cm / 3 inches) to cut circles from the pastry, aiming for 12 circles total.

Use a smaller cookie cutter (4-5 cm / 2 inches) to cut out the centers of half of the circles, creating rings.

Gently remove the cut-out dough and reserve it in the fridge.

Prepare an egg wash by mixing 1 whole egg with 1-2 tablespoons of water.

Turn the circles upside down and place them on a baking tray lined with the silicone mat.

Brush the base of each circle with the egg wash, avoiding the sides to ensure they rise properly.

Place the rings on top of the circles, matching the shapes, and brush the tops with egg wash as well.

Chill the assembled pastry in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
