    Pastel Hawaiano was one of my favorite pastries as a child in Colombia. To this day, eating it reminds me of my school days as a girl. Our school cafeteria would serve Pastel Hawaiano for lunch along with Palitos de Queso and Empanadas Colombianas. Great memories!

    These Pasteles Hawaianos are a staple in school cafeterias, cafés and panaderias (bakeries) in Colombia. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is sweet a salty. A great combination of flavors and textures.

    They are wonderful for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack with coffee or tea. And the best part is that they are super easy to make, providing you use frozen puff pastry like I did. Frozen puff pastry is a life saver for somebody like me who doesn't love to bake from scratch.

    Buen provecho!

      I'm so jealous! This is what they served in your cafeteria at school? In my suburb outside of Boston pineapples came in a plastic cup not a flakey pastry. So yum.
