Ruth Adam's Shrimp Puffs Appetizer Amish Recipes

To make the Puff Dough, mix butter and cream cheese and blend well. Add flour. Form into a ball and chill for at least 1 hour.
To make the Shrimp Filling, mix all ingredients together. Add a little mayonnaise if too thick.

To construct the puffs, roll the dough very thin and cut with a round cookie cutter. Spread rounds with about 1/2 teaspoon Shrimp Filling. Fold in half and pinch edges together. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets in a preheated 400° F. oven for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
Variation: Baked ham, crab meat, or anchovies may be substituted for the shrimp.
