So I was talking to my brother in law Norm about the many uses of puff pastry last night and it got me thinking about some of my favorite and easy recipes using, yup you guessed it, puff pastry. Puff pastry can be cut into different shapes and sizes, it will of course puff when you bake it or you can dock the dough so it won't puff and use it similarly to how you would use a cracker. The other great thing as Norm brought up (he is a very creative cook) that puff pastry can be savory or sweet. One of my favorite sweet puff pastry recipes is a Blueberry Lemon curd pastry and here is the recipe:
1 box puff pastry - usually 2 sheets per box
1 pint fresh blueberries possibly 2 if you are making a large nest
1 jar Lemon curd - or you could make your own......
powdered sugar for dusting
I cut puff pastry into circles with a biscuit cutter place on an non-greased cookie sheet following the cooking instructions on the box - let cool after baking.
After the puff pastry has cooled I cut out the middle with a paring knife making a nest of sorts.
Place a spoonful of the lemon curd inside the nest of each pastry and also brush a little curd around the tops of each pastry.
Then place some of the fresh blueberries in the nest on top of the curd filling up the nest.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.......
