Ingredients

  • Quick Puff Pastry
  • 300 grams butter, unsalted
  • 750 grams plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 200 milliliters cold water
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper optional

Directions

1. Pastry: Cut the chilled butter into small cubes. Sieve the flour with the salt. Add the butter, gently working into the flour but not totally breaking down. Add the water, mixing to a pliable dough, still with pieces of butter showing.
2. Turn onto a floured surface and roll as for classic puff pastry, into a rectangle. Fold in thirds. Leave to rest for 20 minutes. The pastry now needs to be rolled three times more, resting it for 20 minutes between each turn.
