Puff pastries with nectarines
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. The puff pastries are very easy to make. I offer two kinds that any home cook can manage. For the filling, add sugar to taste depending on how tart the nectarines are. When serving, you can dust the pastries with powdered sugar. They go wonderfully with tea, coffee, or milk. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
