Pre heat the oven to 100C, and grease a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and line with one sheet, trim the edges but leave some over the rim of the dish.
Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Cut the remaining pastry into strips (or you can leave whole) place the baked pie dish and the strips in the fridge for 20 minutes.
