Puff Pastry

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter

  cold, cubed
• 2/3 cup ice water

Instructions

• 1 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
• 2 Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it
  into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
• 3 Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not
  overwork.
• 4 Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30
  minutes.
• 5 On a floured surface, roll the dough into a long rectangle. Fold it into thirds
  like a letter, then rotate and roll out again.
• 6 Repeat the folding and rolling process five more times, chilling the dough for
  30 minutes between each fold.
• 7 After the final fold, wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before
  using.
• 8 Use the puff pastry as needed for recipes, rolling it out before baking.
