Easy Peasy Puff Pastry

 This was a bit of an experiment. It only took about 10 minutes and really was easy-peasy. 

It rolled out beautifully.

8oz plain flour

4 oz ice cold butter cut into small cubes

Ice cold water 

1/2 tsp salt or to taste


Put the flour into a food processor

Add about one third of the butter cubes at a time and pulse gently, there should still be small bits of butter distributed throughout the flour.

Add enough cold water to bind the mixture.

Roll out the pastry thinly to the shape of a triangle.

Fold into 3 and roll out again. turn the pastry 90 degrees and repeat the process till you have done it three or four times.

Wrap the pastry and leave it to rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours before rolling it out.

Cook at 180 fan oven.
