PKU friendly puff pastries

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago I've ordered a big box full of goods from PKU Shop. In the package were cheeses from Violife Foods, gluten free pasta, low protein rice from Aproten Chicchi, low protein pasta stars from Aproten too, organic bechamel (rice based) sauce, cacao balls, coconut milk in powder and LOW PROTEIN GLUTEN FREE PUFF PASTRY!!!    

I've never eaten gluten free puff pastry, I don't even remember the taste of the basic one, made using wheat and butter. To be honest, the composition is not the best, but once in a while it won't hurt, won't it? Mine puff pastry is from Balviten, but once I saw gluten-free puff pastry from Schar Gluten Free and from Genius Gluten Free, but they aren't available in my town:(

The gluten free puff pastry, even when we know it's not always the healthiest option:), is a perfect solution when we have no time to prepare something tasty in a couple of minutes! You can fill it with your favorite fillings, for example cherries, cream cheese&spinach, chocolate, dairy free Nutella style spread, jam, orange marmalade, raspberries, apples&cinnamon jam, veggie mash or anything you like:)

To be honest, they don't taste e x a c t l y like the regular ones, made using wheat flour and butter. They are a bit fatty, on the second day they are quite dry and the dough is crumbling and breaking while rolling. But   i t  i s  g l u t e n - f r e e  and  l o w  p r o t e i n  puff pastry an we know that gluten free and low protein food is specific:)


So, here's the recipe!


What you need:

♡sheets of gluten free low protein puff pastry
♡melted butter or beaten egg's yolk for spreading over the puffs
♡favorite filling
♡caster sugar to sprinkle before baking
♡powdered sugar to sprinkle after baking


What you need to do:

ORANGE SNAILS

2. Cut  the puff pastry for long stripes (about 3 cm width).
3. Spread the orange marmalade and roll to make 'snails'.
4. Put the 'snails' on the baking tray. Spread melted butter or yolk over the 'snails'. 
5. Bake the 'snails' for about  minutes until they become golden and crunchy. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar!
