Make sure to REPIN this recipe
So my mom is in a book club – every couple of months she gets to host the book club at my parent’s house. About a week before the event my mom usually asks me to come up with a dish for the event
I already am planning on making a little caprese bites I was not planning on posting the recipe but if y’all would like it I will
The other dish I created were these crab puffs — I want to make something that was VERY simple to make and can be eaten with ease since there will be a lack of table space ( the same concept behind coming up with the caprese bites )
I really like how this recipe came out — I do have a tip 🙂 Always do an egg wash on pastry dough before baking — that is how you can get that lovely golden brown outside
If you do not know how to make a egg wash it is super easy – simple crack 1 egg in a bowl – whisk until the whites and yolk are completely combined
Then taking a kitchen brush – brush the “wash” onto the dough
To cut down on the cost I ended up using canned crab – it only cost a couple of dollars
I do not think someone would be able to tell the difference
If you do make the Super Easy Crab Puffs Recipe please let me know what you think 🙂
Love You Guys!

I also wanted to know what to do with the other half of the onions

Did you use 1 box of pastry sheets or 1 sheet? I used 1 sheet and made 16 but co u or not put 2 TBS or even 2 tsp in one square.

I’ve
Ace these twice now and everyone loved them. The only change I made was to count the pastry and put in 24 mini muffin cup tin to cook.JEAN
Just a few details would really be helpful. What size to roll dough out to or maybe give us an idea of how
big the squares should be. I am going to make them right now and just eyeball them based on your pictures.Macy
