Peanut Butter Samosas
Peanut butter samosas are a creative fusion of the Indian culinary classic and the world of European sweets. The samosa, traditionally known with savory fillings, now comes in a sweet, creamy version that can be a favorite for all ages. As the peanut butter melts in the hot pastry, a rich chocolate aroma fills the kitchen. The crispy on the outside, soft on the inside sweetness provides a special experience - whether as an afternoon snack or a welcome treat for guests. To achieve the perfect texture, it's important not to overfill the samosas and always let them cool slightly after baking. Tip: You can also vary the flavors by adding finely chopped toasted peanuts or banana slices to the peanut butter - this will make the internal texture even more exciting.

Preparation Steps
1
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 2-3 mm. Cut the pastry into approximately 10x10 cm squares. Tip: If the dough becomes too warm, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to make it easier to work with.
2
Place a teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of each pastry square. Don't add too much, as it may leak out during baking. If you like, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the peanut butter for extra sweetness.
3
Fold the squares in half to form triangles. Press the edges with a fork to seal the samosas well. Make sure the filling doesn't reach the edges, otherwise the pastry might tear.
4
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the samosas to give them a nice shine during baking. For an egg-free version, use plant-based milk or oil.
5
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Watch them closely during the last 5 minutes of baking, as they can brown quickly.
6
Let the baked samosas cool for a few minutes, as the peanut butter filling will remain hot inside. Serve warm or completely cooled – sprinkled with powdered sugar for an extra touch!
