  • About

Puff pastry is one of those recipes that is so difficult that it is seldom made at home; it is more likely to be the ultimate challenge in baking.

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1 lb 1½ oz) plain flour
  • pinch

Method

Put the flour and salt into a large bowl with 250 ml (9 fl oz) water and mix well to produce a dough. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to form a square just over twice the size of the block of butter.

Place the butter in the middle of one side of the pastry square. Fold over the other half and press down the edges with a rolling pin to make a sealed package around the butter. Tu
