I've never made anything like them! I think I'm going to try the crumpet recipe first though! <br/><br/>I finally got around to reading your 3 part series regarding consumerism and your journey away from it. Good reading! I love to read about people's journeys to a more frugal and simple life! These look yummy! I’ve never made anything like them! I think I’m going to try the crumpet recipe first though!

I think to make a "proper" puff pastry takes quite a bit of effort. You end up with layers of butter in between the pastry to separate them. Based on my limited knowledge anyway. I've never attempted puff pastry (actually we did make it at school once and it was yum but lots of work).<br/><br/>Denise - TVP stands for textured vegetable protein. It's made from soy I think. It's a common ingredient in pies. When you mix it with minced beef you can't really tell it's there. This is the first time I've tried using it. I'm not really all that great with US conversions but let me know if I can help you any further. :-) Madly Saving - this is a shortcrust pastry.
