I used to try this recipe, and it work. try it!
It crispy, tasty and very easy.
Ingredients (makes 450g puff pastry)
- 225 g all purpose flour
- 150 ml cold water
- 225 g butter or pastry magarine
- pinch salt
1. Sieve the flour on to a work surface and make a well in the centre. Place the salt and water in the well and gently work the mixture together. Put aside and rest it for 30 mins.
2. Lightly dust a surface with flour and roll out the dough into a large rectangle 30 cm long by 10 cm wide, and 1 cm thick.
3. Slice the butter into 1 cm. thick slices - the same thickness as the pastry. Lay the slices over 2/3 of the pastry area.
4. Fold the uncovered 1/3 of pastry in towards the middle so that it covers 1/2 of the butter area. Fold the remaining buttered 1/3 of pastry into the middle. The pastry should now be 3 folds thick with layers of butter in between.
5. Turn the pastry sideways on. Roll into an oblong and fold again into three. Rest the pastry for 20 mins in a refrigerator.
6. When rested, roll the pastry out to a rectangle, fold into three and rest it a further 20 mins.
7. Repeat the process once more and rest again. The pastry is now ready to use.
Then you can use this basic puff pastry for spinach turnovers, Scampi Turnovers. Bake puff pastry for 20 mins, place yolk egg on the top for good color.
