HOMEMADE PUFF PASTRY

Easiest tasty homemade puff pastry recipe in just 15 minutes with amazing flakey and buttery layers.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4 cups maida / all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup cold unsalted butter, keep it in the freezer for 20 minutes before using

5 to 6 Tablespoons ice water or more, as needed

INGREDIENTS

Whisk together flour, sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl and keep it aside.

Using a hand grater or box grater, grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture, lightly whisking the flour mixture each time you shred half of the butter.

Once butter is completely grated, whisk mixture lightly until the butter is coated in flour either with only with a wooden spoon or by hand.

Drizzle ice water into the flour/butter mixture and mix until when you pinch the dough will hold its shape and not fall apart

Tip : Add just enough ice water slowly teaspoon by teaspoon.

Transfer to a lightly floured surface and work the dough together with your palms to make dough cling together. Wrap the dough thoroughly with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Now remove from refrigerator and using a rolling pin , roll into a rectangle (approx 8x12” ). Fold dough like folding a letter, rotate 90 degrees, and then roll dough into an 8x12” rectangle again. Do this at least five to six times.

Wrap dough again well with plastic wrap and return to refrigerator to chill for at least another 30 minutes before using.

This can be stored in the fridge for several days.
