Raspberry turnovers.

Frozen puff pastry. You can fill it with almost everything, throw it into the oven and what comes out is deliciousness.
For these bleeding birds thaw the puff pastry rectangles a bit, then put a few frozen rasperry on each, sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon, fold and seel it. Mix 2 tablespoons soy milk with 2 tablespoons sugar and brush turnovers with, cut stripes into the dough or use a cookie cutter. Then bake it for about 15 minutes.

Cinnamon-Choco-Rolls

Buy chilled puff pustry. Sprinkle it with a lot of cinnamon and cocoa and a little sugar, roll it up, cut into small cute packages and bake it for about 20 minutes. That's it. Eat while they're still warm with a coffee and smile.

Tomato-Sage-Quiche




This was a tasty birthday quiche for a friend. As ready vegan puff pastry is so easy to use I avoided to make a short crust, only the filling is made from scratch.
You need:
-enough puff pastry to fill a baking dish
-soy milk
-flour
-tomatoes
-1 onion
-sage
-oil
-salt, pepper, ...

Dice onion into very fine pieces and cook slightly in oil.
Add 3-4 tablespoons of white flour, stir and add little by little soya milk
to make a béchamel sauce.
Cut sage finely and season the sauce to taste with sage, salt, pepper, paprika, nutmeg...

Line your baking dish with puff pustry but keep some for decoration. Pour béchamel onto it
and thin slices of tomatoes. I cut out butterflies and stars with my favourite tiny cookie cutter and arranged it on the quiche. At last I drizzled some vegan parmesan cheese mixed with a little soya milk over it, made a golden crust, but it's not necessary to use the vegan cheese. The soya milk alone will make it golden and yummy-looking.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is good looking and the béchamel is congealed.
Let cool in the baking pan before serving.

Cinnamon Swirls


Another quick and easy one. Just made of ready vegan puff pastry, agave syrup and a lot of cinnamon. Roll out the pastry into a rectangle. Drizzle the cinnamon on it and some agave sirup - or any other syrup, of course. I think sugar will work as well, maybe it'll get more crunchy then. Then fold in the short sidea little bit and form a roll along the longer side. Cut slices and put them onto a baking sheet. I baked them for about 15 minutes, gas mark 3-4. Next time I should do some more and freeze them, just to have some on hand.
I also did another version with cherry jam and little cinnamon, awesome as well!
