Variations and Creative Ideas
One of the things I love most about these sweet puff pastry donuts is their versatility.
You can enrich them with a drizzle of honey to enhance their sweetness, or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant pastry effect. If you love experimenting, also try with:
Almonds or hazelnuts instead of walnuts.
Fig jam for a creamier filling.
Dark chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
Tips for Serving and Storing
Serve the puff pastry donuts with figs and walnuts warm, when the pastry is still crisp.
Accompany them with a hot tea or coffee for a perfect break.
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container: they will remain good even the next day.
