Irresistible Fun Food: Puff Pastry

I love puff pastry or …  pâte feuilletée, as zee French would say.

Some quick research of the food history turned up the following facts:

It originated in France.  No mystery surrounding its origin.  The inventor was a French chef’s apprentice named Claudius Gele and the year was 1645.

Some reports say Claudius Gele.  Some reports say Claude Lorrain.  I say:  Thank you!

No matter whether the dish is sweet or savory, I love that light flaky pastry.  Although most people may not describe puff pastry as fun food, I do!

My Chicken and mushroom pie is proper comfort food. Encased in buttery puff pastry, and made extra special with a sprinkling of bacon, it’s a family mealtime favourite. https://t.co/4qa9Zs0Tz6 #comfortfood #chickenpie #puffpastry #mushrooms
