Puff Pastry Shell

[marcus]

Does anyone knows where you can buy puff pastry shells (bouchees). I really start to miss my "vol au vent"

Or a recipe would also be welcome - can't find anything decent on the net.

You can find puff pastry in most supermarkets and some big grocery stores, its a bit of a pain in the butt to make over here, you need to keep the butter cold as you fold it, and roll it ... not rocket science, just need a bit of care.... Now that you mention it, I cant remember the last time I had a "Vol-au-vent" might give it a go myself next week.

Thanks ! Unfortunately, none of these supermarkets have a branch over here, so I will have to wait till my next visit to BKK

I tried to make them by myself using the frozen pastry from Makro, but the result looked more like some piece of modern art, not something you can fill.
