This could not get any easier. It's light and takes only a few folding as compared to real puff pastry. A real keeper.
Notes :-
1) I've adjusted the quantities of ingredients to base on 100gm of butter; which yielded 12 mini cones.
2) I've mix, rolled and folded 3x and left dough in fridge for at least 1/2 hour , following one of the reviews.
Rough-Puff Pastry
via BBC Good Food
Ingredients
250g strong plain flour (changed to 150g regular plain flour)
1 tsp fine sea salt (a pinch)
250g butter, at room temperature, but not soft (100g butter, frozen and cubed.)
about 150ml cold water (about 60ml very cold water)
Method
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Roughly break the butter in small chunks, add them to the bowl and rub them in loosely. You need to see bits of butter.
- Make a well in the bowl and pour in about two-thirds of the cold water, mixing until you have a firm rough dough adding extra water if needed. Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 20 mins in the fridge.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead gently and form into a smooth rectangle. Roll the dough in one direction only, until 3 times the width, about 20 x 50cm. Keep edges straight and even. Don’t overwork the butter streaks; you should have a marbled effect.
- Fold the top third down to the centre, then the bottom third up and over that. Give the dough a quarter turn (to the left or right) and roll out again to three times the length. Fold as before, cover with cling film and chill for at least 20 mins before rolling to use.
