| 1 | refrigerated pie crust, reserved from pie |
| 1/2 | cup half-and-half |
| 3 | tablespoons sugar |
PREPARATION:
- Roll pastry on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out leaf shapes. Mark veins in leaves with tip of knife. Roll pastry scraps into rope 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces and twist to make tendrils.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay pastry leaves on bottom of inverted flat-bottomed ovenproof bowl so that leaves will have a curved shape.* Lay tendrils on ungreased baking sheet. Brush leaves and tendrils with half-and-half; sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack; cool completely.
*Leaves may also be baked flat on ungreased baking sheet.
