Make sure your puff pastry is fully defrosted and at room temperature first. Flour your puff pastry and your rolling pin.
Roll out your pastry then cut with a medium cookie cutter until you have 18 rounds.
Put 9 to one side and then cut the other 9 a second time with a small cookie cutter and then remove the middles. You now have 9 medium pastry circles and 9 mini circles that look like mini doughnut circles.
Egg wash, the first 9 and then place the circles over them. The egg wash will then help the circles stick to them.
Then egg wash again and place in the air fryer over a layer of foil.
Air fry for 8 minutes at 180c/360f and then allow to cool as you make your filling.
Then add your fillings and then you can place your vol au vents on the buffet, or fridge if you are making them ahead.
