Fish pastries
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Delicious pastries made from puff pastry can be filled with various types of fillings—both sweet and savory. Creative home cooks bake turnovers with all sorts of ingredients. I suggest you try making an original fish-filled turnover. Just a plain turnover is so ordinary. But a flaky little basket with a golden cheesy crust—this is almost a masterpiece. Even if it takes you an extra half hour to prepare, the dish is well worth it. Let me show you how to make fish turnovers. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
