Puff Pastry
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup Sun Flour Mills Pastry Flour
- 3 1/2 TBSP butter
- approx. 2/3 cup water
- pinch of salt
- 7 TBSP grated frozen butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the Pastry Flour and butter with your hands until a small crumb-like texture forms.
- Add in salt and water one tablespoon at a time and combine with your hands until a rough dough forms. Water amounts will vary, but will be in the ballpark of 2/3 cup.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and shape into a rectangular shape, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
- Once the dough is chilled, turn out onto a floured work surface. Take the frozen grated butter out of the fridge. Spread 1/2 of the frozen grated butter out over 2/3 of the rectangular dough.
- Fold the top down a 1/3 of the way over the butter, then fold the bottom up over that fold. It should make another rectangle where no butter can be seen.
- Turn the entire new rectangle clockwise 90 degrees. Gently roll that rectangle out larger and add the rest of the frozen grated butter. Fold the top down 2/3 of the way, and the bottom up over that.
- Seal up all the edges of the dough, making sure no butter is coming out. Gently roll out to a larger rectangle. Fold the top down 1/3 of the way, and fold the bottom up over.
- Wrap the rectangular dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- After it has chilled roll it out on a non-stick surface and it is ready to use for your recipes that call for puff pastry.
