Top 5 Reasons You Might Have Leftover Puff Pastry* On Hand

  1. You scored triple-coupon savings on “hors d’oeuvre”-y items at the local supermarket.
  2. You’re strangely drawn to making extra Quick Beef Wellington.
  3. Haven’t you seen the “buttery pleasures” episode of Hoarders?
  4. You overdid the puff pastry shopping spree after being traumatized by flat puff pastry.
  5. Leave my teeny-tiny tartlet obsession out of this.

Don’t let it go to waste. Use it up!

* Of course, we’re not saying that you can’t do this unless you have leftover puff pastry. We give you permission to start with a full box and make enough cheese straws for everyone you know.
