  • Weekend Cooking: Crispy Curry Puff Pastry

    Weekend Cooking: Crispy Curry Puff Pastry

    I discovered that I had some frozen leftover Kentang Bol filling, so I decided to throw together a quick afternoon snack, and made some (not-so-curry) curry puffs.  This is the recipe for just the pastry, which is really light and crispy; you can use whatever filling you like, actually (empanadas, anyone?).  Next time I’m thinking of subbing…
