I have always been fascinated when watching videos of cooking with puff pastry. I figured that making pigs in a blanket would be good start to experiment with puff pastry.
What is Puff Pastry?
Puff pastry is a light, flaky, leavened pastry that is often bought pre-made. I searched for home-made puff pastry recipes but I find them difficult to make.
Puff pastry is used to make tuna turnovers and simple appetizers for parties (like the recipe in this post).
While it is difficult to make, one advantage is that you can easily buy frozen puff pastry sheets in supermarkets. Just check the frozen goods aisle and look for it.
