Where to find ingredients
Leeks are available in most major supermarkets in the produce section, often found near spring onions or celery. For the all-purpose cream, you can easily find shelf-stable cartons in the baking or milk aisle of any local grocery store. If you can't find specific Brazilian-style frying dough for pastéis, many Asian-style spring roll wrappers are a common local substitute, though the texture will be slightly different from the authentic Brazilian recipe.
Preparation method
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat
- Sauté the onion and leeks until they turn soft
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking
- Pour the cream into the sautéed mixture
- Stir well over low heat until the filling thickens into a creamy consistency
- Remove from the heat and wait for it to cool down completely before filling your pastéis
Observations
A simple, practical, and sophisticated filling that works perfectly for those looking for a gentle, gourmet touch in their homemade snacks. Make sure to let the mixture cool down completely before filling your dough to ensure the best texture and avoid any issues when sealing your pastries.
