  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      lb            Puff pastry
                        Kitchen foil
                        Egg wash

Make a ball with the foil. Roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut
2 squares. Place 1 square on a cooking sheet. Place foil ball in the
center. Cover with the second sheet of dough. Using the ring from a
tart mold as a guide cut a circle around about 1-1/2" away from foil.
Make a hole on top for steam to escape. Decorate with trimmings.
Paint egg wash. Bake in pre heated 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Turn
down heat to 300°F after 20 minutes. Let cool, cut off top, and
remove foil carefully. Use any filling, to your taste. Place hot
filling inside and serve, or reheat if needed.
