Recipe for Sauerkraut Puff Pastries with Filo Dough (Placinte)

AuthorCategoryDifficultyBeginner

Today I propose to you pastries made with filo dough. A specialty of Moldavian and Romanian cuisine, commonly referred to as "Placinte." These pastries are most often served as appetizers, preferably warm (they reheat very well), otherwise at room temperature. But they are also perfect for breakfast or a snack, for a buffet, a picnic, or a lunchbox.
