Flour a clean, dry countertop or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured
surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about
1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips
crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then
stack them in a little pile.

Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated
in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the
water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of
the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.

Place finished pockets on a nonstick baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and
puffy. Serve warm.
