Quick notes
Puff Pastry sheets can be found in the frozen food section .
If making them before hand – reheat them in the oven at 250 F for about 5 mins.Do not microwave –it may get soggy and lose the delicious crunch!
Use other vegetables like grated carrots, thinly cut green beans or go crazy with filling choices.

I haven’t tried with corn flour. Puff pastry sheets are made only with plain flour. In India, it is known as Maida.
