Art Shells

Roll thin a quantity of plain or puff paste and cut it out with a glass or biscuit cutter. With a wineglass or a smaller cutter, remove the centers of two or three of these circles, and lay the rings thus made on the third, in this way building a little wall around the shell. Bake on a baking-pan in a quick oven. When these shells are used, no small pans are required. In using patty-pans, carefully line them with the crust, and bake quickly.

These pastry cases may be made the day before needed and may be filled with any kind of pie filling, or with preserves or jelly.
