		; minced
3	tb	Mayonnaise
		A; (1-pound) package
		; frozen puff pastry

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl with a fork mash anchovies with mayonnaise. On a
lightly floured surface roll out both sheets of pastry into 14-inch
squares and trim edges to form 13-inch squares. Brush off excess
flour and spread anchovy mayonnaise evenly over 1 pastry sheet. Cover
with remaining pastry sheet and press sheets together gently.
Preheat oven to 375F.
With a 3- to 4-inch decorative cutter, such as a fish, cut pastry into
shapes. Reserve scraps and cut into bite-size pieces to bake
separately. (To eliminate scraps forego decorative shapes altogether
and simply cut pastry into squares.)
Arrange pastries on lightly greased baking sheets and brush tops with
egg wash. With the edge of a cookie cutter or the back of a sharp
knife score fish. Bake pastries in oven until puffed and golden, 12
to 15 minutes.
Makes about 24 anchovy puffs plus scraps.

A Message from our Provider:

“Tired of empty promises? God’s word never fails!”

If this child is born to you, you are a child, and the question arises, are you so? Man grows from childhood up to manhood naturally; in grace men grow from manhood down to childhood; and the nearer we come to true childhood, the nearer welcome to the image of Christ. For was not Christ called “a child,” even after he had ascended up to heaven? “Thy holy child Jesus.” Brethren and sisters, can you say that you have been made into children? Do you take God’s Word just as it stands, simply because your heavenly Father says so? Are you content to believe mysteries without demanding to have them explained? Are you ready to sit in the infant class, and be a little one? Are you willing to hang upon the breast of the church, and suck in the unadulterated milk of the Word – never questioning for a moment what your divine Lord reveals, but believing it on his own authority, whether it seemed to be above reason, or beneath reason, or even contrary to reason? Now, “except ye be converted and become as little children,” this child is not born to you; except like a child you are humble, teachable, obedient, pleased with your Father's will and willing to assign all to Him, there is grave matter of question whether this child is born to you.

C.H. Spurgeon
