Ingredients

For the Puff Pastry:

375g Grand Fermage Extra Dry Butter (84% fat)

500g flour

300ml water

10g salt

For the Filling:

125g cream cheese

3 slices smoked salmon

1 egg yolk

3 tbsp crème fraîche

4 sprigs of dill

Salt and pepper to taste

Black sesame seeds

Instructions

Preparing the Puff Pastry

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, and salt, then knead until a smooth dough forms.

2. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough.

3. Place the Grand Fermage Extra Dry Butter (84% fat) in the center of the dough and fold the edges over to encase the butter.

4. Roll the dough out lengthwise until it extends by at least half, then rotate it 90° and fold it into thirds (wallet fold).

5. Roll the dough out again in one direction until its length doubles, then rotate it 90° and repeat the wallet fold.

6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

7. Repeat step 5 two more times, then refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can perform 3 double wallet folds instead of 6 single folds.

8. Finish by repeating step 5 twice more, then refrigerate to set.

Preparing the Filling

1. Mix the cream cheese with crème fraîche until smooth.

2. Dice the smoked salmon into small cubes and combine with the cream cheese mixture.

3. Add chopped dill, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

Assembling the Cones

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about ½ cm thick, then cut it into 1 cm wide strips.

3. Shape aluminum foil into small cones, wrap the pastry strips around them, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Beat the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water, then brush the egg wash over the pastry cones. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

5. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

6. Once cooled, carefully remove the pastry from the molds and fill each cone with the prepared cream cheese mixture. Serve immediately.
