Waikiki Nests Recipe
Ingredients
1 recipe for Short-Cut Puff Pastry or 1 Basic Flaky Piecrust
1/4 cup chopped Macadamia nuts, divided
Pineapple Filling
Ground cloves, for sprinkling
Powdered carob, for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Roll out pastry or piecrust into an 8 X 10-inch rectangle.
Cut into 6 circles, 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter (I use a large mug for cutting), rerolling scraps to make last circle.
Use an upside-down, 6-cup muffin tin to bake nests.
Lay a circle of pastry over each cup, pressing to fit and secure it.
Bake on top shelf of oven for 15 minutes, or until golden.
As soon as they can be handled, remove nests and cool completely, right side up, on wire racks.
