Whether you're looking for something to tantalize your taste buds or just want an easy snack, cream cheese puffs are for you. They can be served at parties or enjoyed as an after-dinner treat. Cream Cheese Puff Bites Makes: 30-32 mini puffs Ingredients: Cream Cheese - 100gm Vanilla - 1/2 tsp. Sugar - 3 tbsp. Puff Pastry sheet - 1 or 2 no (depending on the size, I used a large (8x16 inch) ready-made sheet.) Sugar (to powder) - 2 tbsp. Egg - 1 no Water - 1 tbsp. Method: Take a ready-made puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for 40-50 minutes. In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar till we get a nice creamy consistency. To make egg wash, add egg and water to a small bowl, mix well, and keep aside. Sprinkle some flour onto a clean surface and spread open the thawed puff pastry. Now cut the pastry into 2x2 inch-sized squares. You will get around 30-32 (2x2 inch) sized squares. Now add a 1/2 tsp. (heaping) of prepared cream cheese filling in the center of each square. Brush two opposing corners with egg wash, then fold over the filling in the center, pressing and pinching gently to seal. Refrigerate the assembled cream cheese puffs for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking sheet. Place the prepared cream cheese puff and brush a thin layer of egg wash. Bake at 180° C for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Let it cool to room temperature and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Muffins are easier and tastier treats that can be made at the convenience of your home. And my Jam Muffin recipe is the perfect treat that you can make with basic, simple ingredients that are available at home. The best part is they are eggless and vegetarian. So don't wait any longer and try out this yummy eggless treat today! Muffins are healthier because we mostly use oil instead of butter. Since there is no creaming of butter and sugar, the muffin's texture is denser and not soft and fluffy like a cupcake. But we require only less time to prepare muffin batter, where we only mix the ingredients lightly to remove lumps. In short, muffins are like bread. Things to note for perfect Jam Muffins: Ingredients at room temperature: It is important to know that all the ingredients that you use for the muffin batter must be at room temperature. If the milk is cold and the oil is at room temperature, it wouldn't emulsify. (it will be difficult to mix all the liquid ingredients.) Overmixing the batter: Once you pour in liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, just mix lightly to combine the mixture to remove lumps, otherwise, the muffins will be tough and not soft. Jam center: Now this point is pretty important. When you add jam to the center, make sure that the jam is not in a liquid state and you can easily place a ball of jam right in the center of the muffins. Otherwise, the jam tends to ooze out while baking. Baking time: The time required to bake muffins in my oven is 20 minutes. This varies from oven to oven, so keep an eye on them while baking. Jam Muffins Serves: 1 Ingredients: Flour - 1 1/2 cups (1.5 cups) Sugar - 1/2 cup Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp. Baking soda - 3/4 tsp. Salt - 1/4 tsp. Milk - 3/4 cup Vegetable Oil - 1/3 cup Vanilla - 1 tsp. Vinegar - 1 tsp. Jam (Strawberry or grape or mixed fruit) - 6 tsp. For Garnish Melted Jam Crushed Nuts Method: Take 3/4 cup of room temperature milk and add vinegar to it. Mix well and set it aside for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a 6-cup muffin tray with muffin liners. If not using liners, grease the cups using butter or oil. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now to the milk mixture, add oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand or electric whisk, mix this mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the milk and oil are emulsified. (mixed well) Add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and lightly mix to form a lump-free batter. Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, fill about half of each muffin liners with the batter. Now add about 1/2 tsp. (heaping) of jam in the center and top it with muffin batter. Fill about 3/4th of each liner. Gently tap the muffin tray to remove trapped air and bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 18 - 20 minutes or until golden brown and when a toothpick is inserted comes out clean. Once baked, let the muffins cool down for 5 to 10 minutes before removing them from the tray. (if you haven't used muffin liners, then let the muffins completely cool before removing them from the tray) Now brush the top of the muffins with melted Jam and sprinkle crushed nuts. Enjoy these sweet and tasty muffins with a cup of tea or coffee.
