2 Prepare the Puff Pastry
Remove puff pastry from refrigerator and place on a clean, flat work surface. Remove any paper between puff pastry squares, if necessary. If paper is sticking, place puff pastry in freezer until firm, 5 minutes.
Using the tip of a knife, draw diagonal lines on pastry squares, about 1/2" apart. Draw another set of diagonal lines crosswise from the first, forming a crosshatch. This is called scoring. -
