932.0. "Puff Pastry" by DELNI::MANGAN () Mon Jan 18 1988 13:05

        Speaking of puff pastry...
    
    I recently tried frozen sheets of puff pastry to make a strudel.

    It worked very well, and now I am looking for other ways to use
    the dough.  Any suggestions?

	re: Note 932.0 by DELNI::MANGAN, request for puff pastry recipes My husband uses it to make fruit turnovers, similar to the pepperidge farm ones but with more fruit and almost no sugar. Just take one sheet (thawed), rolll it out a little, cut into 4 pieces (should be almost square). Cut up an apple or two into the center of the four pieces, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, fold into triangles and bake. Makes 4 delicious turnovers. This can be done right before dinner is ready, then bake during dinner. It makes a quick and elegant dessert. I have also seen a recipe for baked brie with puff pastry. I think it was a baby brie, rind removed, wrapped in a sheet of puff pastr and baked. Use your imagination and if anything comes out very weel, post the recipe here. One caution - puff pastry has a large percentage of fat, so if you worry about those things, don't use it indiscriminately. Eryn
