Classic German flavors bring a fresh twist to this beloved hors d'oeuvre. We love the combination of buttery puff pastry with tangy sauerkraut and the subtle heat of mustard.

Cooks' Note:

If you are able to find all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour (our preferred brand), roll the pastry sheet to a 12x18-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Cut pastry lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long each (you should have 32 pieces of pastry), and proceed with the recipe.
