Chill dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. With palms of your hands ,push it into a rough rectangle. Brush with flour. With a rolling pin roll into a 12-inch rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Fold the rectangle over 3 times, then refrigerate for 20 minutes.Remove from the refrigerator and roll into another rectangle 12 inches long. Fold over 3 times and refrigerate for 20 minutes more.Remove from the refrigerator and roll into a rectangle 12 inches long again.

Using a rolling pin, roll the Puff Pastry dough over 1/2 cup confectioners` sugar until it forms a 12-inch square, 1/8-inch thick. With a sharp knife, trim edges. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove from the freezer and brush both sides of the dough with confectioners` sugar. Bring the 2 ends of the dough toward the center and fold lengthwise. Now fold again lengthwise toward the center to make a 4-layer dough 12 inches wide. Brush both sides of the dough with more confectioners` sugar. Place in the freezer again for 5 minutes. Remove from freezer.With a sharp knife, cut pastry into thin strips 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches, then close each pastry strip to form a butterfly shape or ears. Lay them on prepared cookie sheets in staggered rows, about 2 inches apart. Return to the freezer for 5 minutes.Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Transfer Little Ears to a wire rack to cool. They will be sticky, so do not place one on top of the other. Serve immediately or the same day.Makes 24.
