Another basic recipe in order to bake a lot of tarts and pies, all over the summer! When it will begin of course 🙂
Puff pastry isn’t an easy thing to make. I tried several times, always without success. Getting nervous, with butter everywhere, place the dough in the fridge several times… That’s not for me… I am everything but patient… Not my main quality… I need things to be quick and perfect.
Maybe you can’t tell reading this blog because I am spending a hell of a time in my kitchen but … I hate loosing my time for nothing…
So I read plenty of recipes all over the web, each of them saying that’s it the easiest way to make homemade puff pastry. But I saw one actually that I completely trusted and I was right. I reduced butter quantity and add some turns to succeed in making this delicious puff pastry.
