Instructions
2 boxes frozen puff pastry sheets
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
Coarse (or regular) sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (no substitute)
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
Thaw pastry sheets for 20 minutes. Open sheets and lightly roll out. Cut down crease lines to form 3 strips. Cut each strip into 7 pieces. Mix egg and milk together and brush over the top of the pieces of dough. Dip each piece into sugar and place on sprayed baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet. Carefully remove and slice each piece in half lengthwise. Combine the 1 cup milk and flour and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Let cool. Add remaining ingredients and beat well with mixer until fluffy. Spread filling on half the “pillows,” and top with remaining pillows to make a sandwich. The 2 boxes of puff pastry sheets make 80 puff pillows, and they freeze well.
