Kaya Puff



We learnt how to make authentic homemade Nyonya kaya yesterday and today we will learn what other dish we can whip up the kaya with instead of the ordinary kaya toast. Once you have kaya in your hand, you can make this beautiful kaya puff in jiffy. Another essential ingredient is puff pastry which i always have stock in my fridge.

Flaky,buttery,rich puff  pastry filled with homemade sweet kaya baked to perfection goes well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. I made this easy kaya puff for Saturday afternoon tea and had it for my breakfast on the next day as well. Simpy reheat the kaya puff  in a microwave, for a minute and walla! you have hot and fresh kaya puff on your plate. The pastry stays flaky and crispy even for next day breakfast and the delicious kaya ooze out filling my mouth on every bite.

Lay the puff pastry on a clean work surface dusted with little flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry dough to a longish circular shape.
