Fancy a treat that looks super impressive, is easy to make, and that kids and adults alike will love?
Here’s a recipe that ticks all those boxes: pineapple puff flowers.
These tasty pastries work just as well for picnics as they do for a quick dessert when you’re craving something sweet, and use canned pineapple to get rid of all the faff.
I like to eat them with custard and apple, or throw in some bananas.
Here’s how to make your own.

Ingredients:
- Pineapple rings (I use Princes tins)
- puff pastry
- Milk (to rinse)
- Blueberries (optional)
Method:
- Start by cutting the puff pastry into large squares and placing them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make slices in pastry as shown in the video.
- Dry your pineapple slices if using cans like mine. Place the slice in the center of the dough, connecting each corner to the center.
- Place a blueberry in the centre, brush with milk and bake at 180C for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
