Puff Pastry

Sweet and Savory puff pastry

I did not try puff pastry for a long time mainly because it is time consuming and also dreading the fact that it might not turn out good after spending all that time.

But found this quick 10 minute recipe to make puff pastry. Surprisingly it turned out really good. You can find the recipe here

Once you have the puff pastry, there are so many recipes you can try with that.
