Puff pastry

What is puff pastry?

Puff pastry is a flaky and delicious pastry that can be used in savory or sweet recipes.

If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that my mom is the reason why I went to culinary school and fell in love with cooking. My mom used to spend hours in the kitchen making bread, and obviously other delicious recipes that included puff pastry. 

I did not bother much to learn how to make puff pastry until I was in culinary school. I was a bit intimidated at first, but hey! I got it done.

I won’t lie and say making puff pastry is my favorite thing in the world, so I used store-bought for this recipe, and it is just as great.

To clarify,  making puff pastry is not hard, but I really wanted to keep this recipe simple.

If you are in a rush and want to make it simple, store-bought is best.

If you still want to make your own puff pastry I found this amazing recipe from Epicurious Rough Puff Pastry Dough 

Ok! Let’s get to work my friend!
