What to make with puff pastry

Puff pastry is a textural treat, light and crispy, rich and buttery, all at once. It takes some time to create the layers that rise into this magic in the oven, but is a really showstopping technique to master. Most recipes can also be made with rough puff, an easier version and just as delicious – which is only not suitable if you need the full height of defined layers, such as for a vol-au-vent. There are a wealth of sweet and savoury recipes that use puff pastry, so this is one to get stuck into. Although many recipes use bought puff pastry, they will be even better, and you will have serious bragging rights, if you make your own.
