  • Let’s start preparing the Puff pastry snowflakes. Unroll the puff pastry and use a pastry cutter to cut out circles. I made 10, they should always be an even number. You can also attach the scraps to make more circles if needed.

  • and cover with a second circle of puff pastry, pressing well so that the puff pastry sticks. Continue this way with the remaining puff pastry circles.

  • Place a small pastry cutter in the center, or alternatively, a bottle cap works as a measure to make the cuts. Starting from the central circle, make cuts up to the edge. First, cut into 4 parts, then each part should be cut into 4 more parts,

  • resulting in 16 wedges.

  • continue this way until completing the snowflake.

  • Brush butter on the central part of each snowflake,
