I don't know about you, but I love puff pastry.

I learned how to make puff pastry from scratch at school with my very strict and old fashioned cookery teacher. It seemed to take hours to make. All the careful folding and then more folding. She watched our every move like a hawk. We didn't dare make a mistake.

These days I buy ready made puff pastry and if I can get away with it, ready rolled puff pastry. It's a godsend for lazy busy mums and such good quality. Lucky for me it's usually vegan too.

I'm always playing about with new recipes using puff, but I love looking for inspiration among my blogger friends too. Here are 25 of the best vegan puff pastry recipes for you to try.

For the eagle eyed among you (I'm all about the birds of prey today), you'll spot one recipe that's for shortcrust pastry. It's a good one, so I decided to leave it. It could be made with puff, but wouldn't be easy to hold, so bookmark it for next time you buy shortcrust pastry.
