What to do with all that left over puff pastry?  Well, these little guys are super easy and so very yummy.


recipe:

1/3c. sugar
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 c. butter 

preheat the oven to 400.  
Take the puff pastry you have, thaw, and cut into long rectangular pieces.  lay over a well sugar and cinnamon-ed (I realize this is not a word out of webster, but I think it's pretty easy to understand) surface.  melt butter, mix the butter sugar and cinnamon together.  spoon out and layer the mixture over the dough.  Roll the dough starting from each end in. Then cut at a slight diagonal about a 1/2 inch thick and lay over a baking sheet with parchment paper.  (I butter my parchment but that's just me... extra flavor).

Cork it, drink it, bury it... bottles.

Something to do with wine bottles for all those wine-o's out there.  Feel free to polish off a couple more while making the perfect border for your lovely garden.
