I made this vegetable puffs recipe with frozen puff pastry which I bought few weeks back from Walmart. During school days, every thursday my mom used to buy hot veg puffs from nearby bakery, I liked it very much and during college days, me and my friends always order veg puffs from our college canteen and we chit-chat, laugh and have it with hot chai (tea) those brings back nostalgic memories .
So this is my all time favourite snack and I tried puff yesterday at home, it came out super yummy and crispy. I had it with tomato ketchup and green tea. Using Pepperridge farm puff pastry sheets, you can make lot of recipes ( sweet or savory version) just by changing the stuffing, also you can make turn overs, sweet pies and tarts. For stuffing, that’s your wish use any kind of vegetables like potato-carrots-peas or eggs or chicken or paneer. You can make this veg puffs as appetizer for parties or potlock.
