Recipes FAQ

What can I serve with crab puffs?

Crab puffs are a versatile appetizer that can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or even tartar sauce. They also pair well with a crisp white wine or a light beer.

Can I use fresh crab meat instead of canned?

Absolutely! Fresh crab meat will give your crab puffs a richer and more flavorful taste. Just make sure to remove any shells or cartilage before using it in the recipe.

Can I freeze crab puffs?

Yes, you can freeze crab puffs before baking them. Just prepare the puffs as directed and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and store them for up to 3 months. When you are ready to bake them, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then brush them with the egg wash before baking.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure that the puff pastry is completely thawed before using it. If it is still frozen, it will be difficult to work with and may tear.
  • Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash to the pastry puffs. This will give them a nice shiny finish.
  • Don't overfill the pastry puffs with the crab mixture, or they may burst open during baking. A tablespoon of filling is the perfect amount.
