I was trying out this gluten free puff pastry I found in the supermarket by Silly Yak and got to say that while it rolls very well, it is nothing like puff pastry, so you can use it to make a pie, but don’t expect layers and laminations like in puff pastry. Filled the strudel with steamed apples, pinenuts and sultanas!
