Butterfly Pie

[takadai_no_tora]

Butterfly pie is not pie, nor does it contain butterflies. Sorry. It is the name on the box of pastries from the Asian supermarket where Liam and I ended up yesterday noon. I would call butterfly pie 'palmiers,' the clerk at my local panaderia would probably label them 'orejas;' either way, they're sugary puff pastry, rolled up from both sides

I make those myself, except I fill them with salty stuff. Either parma ham, goat cheese and red curry paste. Mmmmmmmm. =)

Savory or salty fillings would be good too, although I would substitute another cheese--not fond of goat cheese. I got some red curry paste about a week ago, which I haven't used for anything yet, but I think I'll save a little and make curry palmiers next time I buy puff pastry dough. Thanks for the idea!

Great, please let me know how it worked out ^__^

By the way, over here you'd call this kind of biscuit "Schweineöhrchen" - 'pig's ear'.
