Quick Pastry Puff Dough Recipe {Быстрый Pецепт Cлоеного Tеста}

Since the dough contains no yeast, the way this pastry puffs in the oven is pure magic. Okay, so it's not magic, it's chemistry. But puff pastry is still one of the most satisfying items to bake. Puff pastry is leavened by water in the layers of butter and  dough evaporating in the hot oven, causing the layers to separate. This is the easiest recipe for Pastry Puff and it's so universal.. It will be ready in 2 hours. Think of many possibilities of what you can make with it, like cakes and pies (sweet and savory), pirojki and pastries. The dough is very soft and crumbly. I made Asparagus wrapped in pastry puff, Butternut Squash Purses,  Apple Ricotta Pastry Butterflies, Napoleon Cake, French Persimmon Tart, Pastry Puff Vanilla Bean Cream Horns, Flaky Cream Cheese Filled Pastry Hearts   and Pastry Meat Potato Pie.

Fresh Salmon Red Caviar Recipe

Making caviar at home is not nearly so hard as you might think. It is a miraculous product, beautiful as jewels with a briny pop that adds color and texture to all sorts of dishes. And freshly made caviar will last 2-3 weeks in the fridge, too. Caviar is excellent as an appetizer. It's perfect geometrical form allows it to be arranged decoratively. Caviar is also good in sandwiches and is perfect with butter on white bread or toast. But some people prefer to eat it with soft cake cheese, known to enhance the flavor of caviar. Red caviar often goes with traditional Russian pancakes. As far as drinks go, everything is logical with caviar, being a luxury. We got 5 salmons, all with caviar. So I made this Russian delicacy.
