Notes
Top Tips for working with puff pastry in the air fryer
If cracks form in your pastry, either roll over the crack gently or pinch back together using your fingers
Only take out the pastry between 10-15 minutes prior to using – this will also depend on how hot your kitchen is at the time. In reality, you may want to adjust this time
You will know that the pastry is ready to work with as you unroll it. If you see a crack beginning to appear as you unroll, it is still too chilled – give it another few minutes
Flour the worktop before placing the pastry on it – it will prevent the pastry from sticking as it warms
