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. Although I do remember a dish hitting the floor once. I think it was an apple crumble. She was not happy!
These days I buy ready made puff pastry from the supermarket and if I can get away with it I buy ready rolled puff pastry. It's a godsend for
Is puff pastry vegan?
Thankfully a lot of the puff pastry and shortcrust pastry available in the shops these days is suitable for vegans. Avoid those that say all butter and check on the back for the ingredients. I buy Jus Rol which is suitable for vegans and available in a block or ready rolled sheets of pastry. They do a good range of vegan pastry and pastry items such as croissants and pizza dough, just check the ingredients.
I'm always playing about with new recipes using puff, but I love looking for inspiration among my blogger friends too, so I've pulled together 25 of the best vegan puff pastry recipes for you to try> I just know you will leave inspired and will love them as much as I do.
What about shortcrust pastry, is it vegan?
Once again Jus Rol come to the rescue with vegan shortcrust pastry, which is great for making quick pasties, homemade pop tarts, fruit and savoury pies. Shortcrust pastry is very easy to make, but it is handy to have a packet of ready-made shortcrust pastry in the fridge for quick meals.
The eagle eyed among you will spot that I've included one recipe using shortcrust pastry. It's a good one, so I decided to include it. It could be made with puff, but wouldn't be easy to hold, so bookmark or pin it for next time you buy a block of vegan shortcrust pastry. See if you can spot it.

These look so good! I've never cooked with puff pastry before but I always want to especially around the holidays! I'm pinning for later!
ReplyDeleteOh good, enjoy them :)
DeleteSome really lovely ideas there Jac, need to bookmark lots of these. The first time I did 'Veganuary' I didn't realise shop-bought puff pastry was vegan until the last few days of the month, and it was such a revelation! Thanks for including my Bombay Potato Bites.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good ingredient. I didn't realise until Graham became vegan either.
DeleteThese look delish! As a new vegan, I'm always looking for inspiration so thanks. x
ReplyDeleteI hope it inspires you!
DeleteI'm intrigued as to how puff pastry can be vegan? Isn't there butter in it? Admittedly I've never perused the ingredients on ready mad stuff. Great selection of ideas whether you're vegan on not.
ReplyDeleteSame as flapjacks Claire. Have a look next time you pick up a packet of jus-rol. Only homemade tends to have butter in it and yes fab recipes.
DeleteThis is a great post and a big reminder to myself to get some puff pastry next time i'm at the shops. I haven't used it over the summer much at all, but it's such a staple for quick term-time after-school suppers and desserts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great standby. So many options and no one ever says no.
DeleteO what a lovely round-up! I'm still in need of a gluten-free/vegan puff pastry here in the states!
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully you will find one, it's a right faff to make yourself.
DeleteGreat roundup - I had no idea most commercial puff pastry was vegan! I always assumed it was similar to homemade.
ReplyDeleteNo although it's gorgeous stuff.
DeleteWhat a great selection of recipes! I have a love/hate relationship with these kinds of posts...I love that the recipes are all collected in one place and that they're all so delicious looking and sounding....I hate that I know I'll never get around to trying them all and so I can't decide where to start! 😉
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it's quite a collection and hard to know what to try first.

ReplyDeleteI love all these lovely recipe ideas. I cheat too and use the ready rolled type.
I'm glad to hear it Nayna :)
DeleteALL of these look so delicious! Hard to choose what to make. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI dont know about you but i now really appreciate those strict teachers I had growing up! These look so fun! Cant wait to try a couple of these recipes!! Love your post!
ReplyDeletePuff pastry is one of my favorites for dessert, unfortunately it's hard to find prepared vegan puff pastry in my area. Everything has butter. All of these recipes are making me drool!
ReplyDeleteI looove puff pastry - a veggie puff tart is such an easy dinner. I'm intrigued by the puff pastry waffles - what a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE puff pastry and haven't had it for ages. The portobello one looks rather good!
ReplyDeleteSo many ideas! Not sure where to start! I have lots of puff pastry to use, so I'm excited to see this post.
ReplyDeleteI'm on an absolute beginner level when it comes to pastries (not that I'm on any field advanced or even pro, haha). This is great to get started and see what's possible!! Thanks a bunch :-)
ReplyDeleteLoving all the options! I've never attempted making my own puff pastry but store-bought, that I can do!
ReplyDeleteI love pies but as a vegan I've not had puff pastry fir years. I'm gonna go to check out this treX and see if there any to be had in Ireland
ReplyDeleteMost puff pastry is ok for vegans. Look out for Jus Roll and supermarket own brands. EVERYONE needs puff pastry in their life.
