I love puff pastry sheets. These are versatile and can make n number of recipes. I make puff pastries a lot. I seal the pastry with little water and never tried with oil. This a nice evening snack.

Wow they look wonderful…I have always been very fond of them but the buttered layers tell me not to eat…:))
Very flaky puffs, hard to resist, my family favourite.
I used to order these ALL the time from our local bakery in Hyderabad. Puff pastry sure makes it very easy to make them at home.. They look awesome.
