DINNER IN A PUFF
I found this idea on the internet and have fiddled around with different flavor combinations. The kids like these because I give each child a 6-cup muffin tin and each chooses what goes in their 6 cups. They usually make three savory and three sweet. These are quick and easy. If you don't have puff pastry then try pie crust, ready made biscuit dough or crescent dough. Easy dinner in a puff!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

- Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Top the avocado puffs each with 1 slice sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle pine nuts over all the puffs.

PUFF PUFF
The genius of puff puff is in the simplicity of the dough: A nutmeg-spiked batter, a bit of patience for the yeast to rise and time to fry up the balls will result in the most delightful little puffs. If the batter seems wet, you are on the right track. The consistency should be similar to a yeasted pancake or waffle batter. Tossing the fried dough in spiced sugar is optional, but recommended: The added layer creates an irresistible crunch. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit until foamy, 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, nutmeg and the remaining sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture once it's foamy. Combine, stirring with a wooden spoon, to incorporate all the ingredients into a smooth batter. The batter should be wet and slightly loose, similar to a yeasted waffle batter.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and allow dough to double in size, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spiced sugar: In a medium bowl, toss the sugar, nutmeg, allspice and cloves to combine; set aside.
- Pour 1 inch of oil into a large, deep skillet. Line a baking sheet with a rack or paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Once the batter has doubled in size, heat the oil over medium-high to 350 degrees. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Fry the puff puff, turning frequently until golden brown all over and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. (Be careful not to let the oil get too hot or the exteriors will become overly dark before the interiors are cooked through.) Move the puff puff to the rack or paper towels to drain and repeat the process until all the batter has been fried.
- Toss the puff puff in the spiced sugar to coat while still warm. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
PARTY PUFFS
For a substantial appetizer, you can't go wrong with mini sandwiches. Instead of serving egg or ham salad on ordinary bread, I like to present them on homemade puff pastry.-Karen Owen, Rising Sun, Indiana

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your puff pastry dinner. Some good choices include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the puff pastry. If you add too many ingredients, the puff pastry will not be able to rise properly and will be soggy.
- Be careful not to overcook the puff pastry. Overcooked puff pastry will be tough and dry. Bake it until it is golden brown and flaky.
- Serve the puff pastry dinner immediately. This is when it is at its best. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it in the oven before serving.
