"Upside Down Puff Pastries" can be seen everywhere on social media right now. Influencer Doris shows how she prepares the upside-down puff pastry pockets in her version.
Puff pastry rises, cooks quickly and is wonderfully tender and crispy - ideal for use as a base for quiches or filled pockets. To do this, the savory or sweet filling is placed on one half of the dough, the other half is folded over it and then both sides are pressed down.
At the moment, however, social media such as Instagram or TikTok are increasingly showing a method of preparation that turns everything upside down. And literally: Because in this variant, the ingredients are first placed on the tray and the puff pastry is placed over it like a blanket. Once everything is baked, the "Upside Down Pastries", i.e. the upside-down dumplings, are caramelized and juicy on one side and nice and brown and crispy on the other.
