puff pastry recipe how to make puff pastry from scratch

🧂 Ingredients

1 In a bowl, mix flour, salt and sugar.
2 Add cold cut butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your
fingers, mix until you have a nice pea size crumbly mixture. Add ice cold water
and mix until just combined.
3 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. With a lightly floured rolling pin,
roll dough out into a 8" x 12" rectangle. Fold into threes, like a business
letter, then roll into an 8" x 12" rectangle again. Repeat this step six times.
When finished, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for at
least one hour.
4 Now you are ready to use the dough in any recipe you'd like that calls for puff
pastry! Enjoy.
