PUFF PASTRY
Ingredients:
*1 cup frozen butter
*2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
*2 tablespoons granulated sugar
*1/4 teaspoon salt
*8-10 tablespoons very cold water (I put ice in my water)
Directions:
~In a large mixing bowl, whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together.
~Grate 1 cup frozen butter into flour mixture (stirring it as you go along to coat the butter with flour).
~Drizzle 4 tablespoons of ice water into mixture and stir until the dough comes together (if dough is to dry, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of ice water.
~Knead dough a few times until you can form into a shape.
~Shape dough into a 1/2 inch thick square.
~Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour .
~Lightly flour a clean surface and roll dough into a rectangle and fold into thirds (kind of like a folding a letter).
~Turn dough a quarter turn and roll out into a rectangle again, and fold into thirds (do this 2 more times).
~Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (I do mine overnight).
~Use dough as directed in any puff pastry recipe.
