Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut out circles using a glass. Place them on a greased baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, and bake for 15 minutes.

Useful Tip

By the Way
When sifting flour for classic milk pancakes, hold the sieve higher over the bowl. This allows better aeration, resulting in smoother batter.
