Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground anise seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Brush the surface of the pastry evenly with the melted butter.

  4. Sprinkle the sugar and anise seed mixture generously over the buttered puff pastry sheet, ensuring an even coating.

  5. Gently press the sugar and anise seed mixture into the pastry using a rolling pin to help it adhere.

  6. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry sheet into small squares or rectangles, depending on your preference for the size of the puff drops.

  7. Carefully transfer the cut pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to allow for expansion while baking.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puff drops are golden brown and puffed up beautifully.

  9. Once baked, remove the puff drops from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.

  10. Before serving, dust the warm Anise Puff Drops with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
