BM #104 Day 14 -
Today's snack is another favorite of my kids. With the frozen puff pastry sheets, we can dish out many interesting and tempting snacks and desserts. These sweet corn puffs are not an exception.
Making puff pastry sheets at home is definitely on my to-do list but the time consuming procedure holds me back. I hope I can get to making these sheets at home.
Ingredients -
Puff Pastry Sheet 1
For the filling -
Sweet Corn (Fresh or Frozen) 1 cup
Chilli Powder 1/4 tsp
Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Chaat Masala
Salt to taste
Jeera / Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp
Butter 1/4 tsp + Milk 1 Tbsp for 'egg' wash
Method Of Preparation -
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheet as per instructions on the box (Approx 40 min).
Meanwhile thaw the sweet corn if using frozen.
In a saucepan, heat oil and add Jeera. After the jeera browns a little, add the sweet corn and all the spices.
Mix well and remove from fire. The filling is now ready. Set aside to cool.
Spread the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut them into 12 equal pieces.
Put in a spoonful of filling in each piece and wet the edges and close them.
Arrange all the twelve puffs in a greased or foil lined cookie tray.
Brush them with a mixture of butter and milk before baking them. This is optional but we like it as the mixture gives a nice golden brown hue to the puffs.
Preheat the oven at 400 deg F and place the tray in the oven and bake them for about 15-20 min. I took them out at 20 min.

Those puffs are looking so yum Harini, agree making the pastry sheets at home is surely time consuming and I made it once for the blog. Since we don't get the sheets here, I haven't done these again.
Corn puffs are looking so nice and flaky, looks yum. Good one
Corn puffs ! Super ! Puffs make an excellent snack and stuffing these with corn sounds so good , must be super delicious !
I haven't touched puffs in a very long time and feel like grabbing some from the screen. The corn filling is a new one to me and sounds interesting.
These cute little puffs are so inviting Harini. I'm sure kids enjoyed them.
Corn puffs looks so crispy and flaky. I have tried making puff pastry sheets but didn't come out so good. Readymade puff pastry sheets is surely a boon if we want to make quick puffs.
