Puff Pastry Turnovers (makes 4)

This is a very simple recipe which you can personally adapt in many ways.  Here we used chocolate chips to make something very similar to pain-au-chocolat but you could substitute them with fruit, chunky applesauce or even a mixture of cheese, tomato and fresh basil.  Let your imagination run riot!

Sheet puff pastry

Filling – ¼ cup chocolate chips

Grease a baking tray and heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Roll out the puff pastry until about 1/8 inch thick and cut it into two squares.  Cut each square diagonally in half so you have four triangles.

Fill half of each triangle with chocolate chips, fold over the other half and pinch the sides to make little sealed turnovers.

Place on the baking tray and bake for 8-12 minutes.  For an extra special treat, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and eat whilst still warm.
