Puff

Puff recipes have been around for centuries and are believed to have originated in Europe. Puffs are light and airy pastries that are made from dough that is deep-fried or baked. The dough is typically made from flour, water, and eggs, and it is rolled out thin and cut into small pieces.

Puffs can be made savory or sweet, and they are often served as appetizers or snacks. Sweet puffs are typically filled with fruit or cream, while savory puffs may be filled with cheese or meat.

Puffs have a long history, and there are many different recipes for them. Some recipes date back to the 16th century, while others are more modern. No matter what the recipe, puffs are sure to be a hit!
