So, this isn’t really vegetarian, BUT IT COULD BE, and the shells are.

I mixed about a quarter of a cup of flour, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of sugar, then rubbed in a tablespoon or so of frozen vegan stick “butter”. I added ice water until I could gently work it into a shaggy dough with my fingers. I rolled it out into a rectangle, put thin slices of frozen vegan butter onto a third of it, folded it like so and like so, rolled it into a rectangle again, and did the butter again and folded it again. I wrapped that in cling wrap and refrigerated it until I was ready to use it. Then I divided it in two and rolled each into a square.

I baked it in my air fryer at 400F for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, I cooked the filling.

The shells came out pretty good. Not like real puff pastry, but crisp, flakey, and buttery.

Sounds like a lot of work, but it wasn’t. And it sure was good.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Work, but worth it.
