Palmiers

Whether you call them Palmiers, ears, butterflies or French hearts, this light, crispy indulgence just might be the highlight of your well deserved coffee / tea break.

They are a favourite in my increasing repertoire of easy treats using puff pastry sheets. You'll be surprised how quickly they come together - which is good because they'll disappear quickly and you'll be making them again and again!

Cheese Straws

Now that you can purchase puff pastry in sheets, I find myself reaching for it often for savoury and sweet treats.

These Cheese Straws from Ina Garten are a hit all year round, but will be welcomed at holiday events. I always make these "day of" and not the day before - but day before prep enables you to make this magic happen quickly.

Almond Rings

My local deli sells a puff pastry almond ring and every once in a while I cave in and buy one for myself as a treat.  When a store sells a nice treat, we should perhaps just "go with it", but I recently became a bit obsessed with trying to replicate it. 

I served it to a gathering of high school friends. This got a thumbs up from all and BFF rated it better than the one sold at the deli - blush! (That doesn't mean I will stop buying them.)
