Allumettes

Allumettes are narrow pieces of baked puff pastry, usually with a topping on them.To make them, puff pastry is rolled to ½ cm (¼ inch) thick, then spread with a topping, then cut into rectangles 7 to 8 cm (3 inches) in width.

The pastry rectangles are then baked for 15 minutes at 200 C (400 F / gas mark 6.)

The toppings can be anything; Cooksinfo.com has listed some classical French versions.
