Take care not to cut all the way through the pastry when cutting off the lid, otherwise your filling could leak out. You can get the full list of ingredients and instructions on how to make vol-au-vents on the printable recipe card at the end of this post**
Do not fill the vol-au-vents too far in advance of serving as they will absorb moisture from the filling and will go soggy.

Navylady41 Tasty treats These party foods were very tasty and went down very well on our birthday celebrations. I didn't want to get tied down to a lot of prepping and cooking so thought I would try M&S and was very impressed. These crispy flakey vol-au-vent cases made with puff pastry are the perfect base for a variety of your favourite fillings. They can be made ahead and filled at the last minute and are the best retro canapé or appetiser! Jump to: There are so many yummy fillings you could put in these vol-au-vents. You are limited only by your imagination.
Leftover pastry / pastry scraps: you can either re-roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out some more cases, or make puff pastry pinwheels. Keep refrigerated below 5°C. Suitable for freezing. Freeze by date mark shown and use within one month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge before use and use within 24 hours. Never defrost in a warm room. Do not refreeze once defrosted. Oldandcold Disproportionate pastry to filling Too little filling for the amount of pastry surround.

These 2 ingredient – and one of those is water – puff pastry cases are so simple to make and can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge then reheated to crispy perfection!
If your puff pastry needs defrosting, defrost it at room temperature – this will take an hour or so depending on the temperature of your kitchen. Prepare the cases as for the oven put place them on a circle of baking paper / baking parchment on the air fryer basket, making sure there is a gap of 1-2 cm (⅓ – ¾ inch) around the edges to let the air circulate.
Yes, you can make square cases, cutting them with a knife rather than a cookie cutter. My recipe tips Instead keep the cooked vol-au-vents and the filling separate until just before you want to eat them, then fill and serve immediately. Ideas for fillings You can make the pastry cases up to 3 days before you need them and reheat in a moderate oven or the air fryer for a couple of minutes to crisp up. How to cook the cases in the air fryer: Timzy66 Poor filling This is NOT deep filled...its hardly adequately filled...not worth the money at all....
