Puff Pastry is a flaky pastry containing several layers of butter. Solid state of butter is a must in making the puff pastry. Puff pastry is packed with calories, but it is worth a try. Puff Pastry can be used to make both sweets and savories. I have few included sweets and savory recipes of puff pastry in thus blog.

Just to make the puff pastry, I have made the puff pastry with whole wheat flour. Patience in making the pastry will have wonderful outcome. If you want to make the puff pastry to be more healthier, you can also replace butter with solid coconut oil.

Ingredients:

1 Sheet Homemade puff pastry

10 Jalapenos or Green Chillies deseeded

1 Cup Grated Mozarella Cheese

2 Tsp Pepper powder

For Egg Wash(Optional):

1 Egg

2 Tsp Milk

Method:

1. Wash and dry the jalapenos with a towel.

2. Cut the tip of the jalapenos or green chillies and deseed them.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the grated cheese with pepper powder and keep it aside.

4. Fill the deseeded jalapenos with the cheese.

5. Preheat the oven to 180 degree C.

6. Cut the pastry sheet in to strips of length 20 cms and width 2 cms for wrapping the jalapenos. This process has to be completed fast to avoid the butter from melting. If the pastry loses its stiffness, place the pastry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

7. Wrap the pastry around each jalapenos. Place the wrapped jalapenos in the prepared tray with the parchment paper. Cover the lined up jalapenos with the plastic wrap and let it stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
