Imagine what excitement a woman making French pastries in her kitchen would have created a generation ago! Now you can bake them whenever you please. Just use our recipe for Basic Puff Pastry. It’s a simplified version that gives professional results. You need to have patience, willingness to follow techniques and will power to resist changing the specified ingredients. It’s really not difficult, just time consuming.
Busy women don’t do the work these special pastries take all at one time. You can freeze the pastry, pre-shaped if you like, and use it any time within a month. Or you can refrigerate pastry, wrapped in aluminum foil, for two or three days before shaping. When you are about ready to entertain, you can bake the pastries, garnish and freeze them for a few days.
