We Tasted 4 Frozen Pigs in a Blanket — These Are the Winners How to cut a square of puff pastry into triangles After you've rolled your sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured work surface, the easiest way to cut it into 12 triangles is to first cut it in half, then cut each half into three 4- x 6-inch rectangles. From there, cut each rectangle in half diagonally to form 12 triangles. You can use either a sharp chef's knife or a pizza wheel (aka a roller blade) to do the job. Notes from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen Make sure you refrigerate the uncooked pigs in a blanket for at least 15 minutes before baking, so the pastry is cold when it goes in the oven. That way, it will puff up when it bakes, creating distinct layers that shatter with each bite.These snacks are delicious on their own. You can also serve them with a honey-mustard dip.
