Cream Puff Pastry Swans

by:




Even though puff pastry swans are one of those old-fashioned decorations that look great on dessert plates or platters, most of us don't bother with them any more, in part because they look a lot harder to make than they are. The only tricky steps are piping out the teardrop shapes thatform the swan bodies and the S-shaped necks. If you have trouble, pipe them out as best you can and if you're not satisfied, just scrape up the dough and use it to try again. You can serve these swans as dessert or you can put one on a dessert plate to decorate another dessert.
