Cooking Tips:

6. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 equal squares.
7. Place a spoonful of the custard mixture in the center of each square.
8. Fold the corners of the pastry up and over the custard, pinching the edges together to seal.
9. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
