Prep time
25 mins
Ingredients
- Plain Flour: plain flour, for dusting
- Egg Yolk: 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp milk, to glaze
- Puff Pastry: 500g pack puff pastry
- Filling: fillings of your choice, to serve (see 'goes well with')
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 30 x 6cm squares, trimming any edges. Score a smaller square inside each one, leaving a 7.5mm border, taking care not to cut the pastry all the way through.
- Put the squares on the tray, lightly brush with egg glaze and bake for 15 mins until puffed up and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. When cool, carefully remove and discard the central piece of pastry from each one. To serve, fill with the fillings (see 'goes well with').The vol-au-vent cases can be kept in an airtight container for up to a day before filling and serving.
