Steps:
- Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer that is fitted with a dough hook. Gradually stir in water until the dough holds together enough to clean the sides of the bowl. You may not need the full amount of water. Shape into a flat ball, and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Place the butter between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound into a flat disc using a rolling pin or other heavy object. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Place the disc of chilled butter in the center and fold the two ends over it so that it is completely encased in dough. Roll out the dough again, taking care not to let the butter break through the dough, to about 1/2 inch thickness. Fold into thirds. This is the first ''turn''. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll out into a rectangle again. Fold into thirds. By this time the butter is starting to warm up. Place the dough on a baking sheet and mark it with two pokes from your finger (two turns). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Repeat this rolling, folding and turning two more times, then refrigerate until firm. Repeat two more times for a total of 6 ''turns''. Wrap and refrigerate. The dough is now ready to roll out and use in any recipe calling for puff pastry. Roll the dough out as thin as 1/4 inch to make pastries. Bake in a preheated oven of at least 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to get the maximum puff from your pastry.

Steps:
- Ok, you get the whole story!
- "Before beginning the adventure with puff paste there is one thing to be explained that will make its compositions comparatively easy.
- (Ha Ha!) The butter used must be washed.
- The purpose of washing it is to make it elastic.
- It should be soft through being kneaded, but in no sense soft through being melted- quite the contrary, it must be soft and cold at the same time.
- In winter turn on the cold water faucet.
- Manipulate the butter with the hands under the stream of cold water until it is creamy and waxy.
- At other seasons, do this in a quart of ice water placed in a bowl of ice.
- The butter may be kneaded with a spoon if preferred.
- The final kneading of the butter is done on a board or it is patted briskly in the hands until no water flies.
- This is the recipe of a professional cook.
- As it calls for egg yolks it differs from the orthodox rule for puff paste.
- However, her results are remarkable and her method is simple, so I am giving it in preference to the usual rather complicated recipes.
- (Ha Ha again, it is complicated!) She stresses 2 points: Keep the hands, the bowl, the board and the rolling pin as cold as possible.
- (Ha Ha, your hands will be frostbitten!) A cold windy day is best for making puff paste.
- "Work with hands,as in the first paragraph, under water, 1 cup of butter.
- Place 1/4 cup butter in a cold bowl.
- Form the remainder into a square and place it where it will keep cold.
- Add to the butter in the bowl, the flour and salt, work these ingredients with a pastry blender, 2 knives or the finger tips.
- Beat and add 1/4 cup ice water and 2 egg yolks, (the yolks may be omitted, in that case use in all, 6 tablespoons of water).
- Work these ingredients well with the hands.
- If necessary add, to loosen the dough from the bowl, a pinch of flour.
- Place the dough were it will be cold but will not freeze, preferably in the open air.
- If it is not possible to do this, fold the dough in a clean cloth and place it in a dripping pan that has been placed between 2 dripping pans filled with ice.
- After 15 minutes, roll the dough into a square on a floured board.
- Roll it one way only, not back and forth.
- A good way is out from the centre.
- Put the square of butter in the centre of the dough and fold the 4 corners to the centre completely covering the butter.
- Permit the dough to stand on a cloth or piece of waxed paper in a cold place for 1/2 hour.
- Turn it once to keep it from becoming dry.
- Roll out the dough again into a square and fold the corners to the centre.
- Permit it to stand again for 1/2 hour.
- Repeat this process.
- The dough must be chilled and rolled at least 4 times in all.
- Chill the dough until you are ready to use it.
- Wrapped in waxed paper it may be kept in the refrigerator for several days.
- Roll it, cut it into shapes.
- Chill it again and bake it.
- One of the secrets of success of puff paste is to have it ice cold when placed in a hot oven.
- The matter of baking puff paste is a moot point.
- In all rules the very cold paste is put into a very hot oven- 500°F.
- In some it is baked at this temperature throughout.
- In this case the pastry is covered with waxed paper after 10 minutes baking.
- In other rules the heat is reduced 50 degrees every 5 minutes until the temperature is 350°F for final baking.
- GOOD LUCK!

Steps:
- Cut 8 ounces (2 sticks) butter into 1/2 to 1/4-inch dice, place on a plate and refrigerate while preparing remaining ingredients.Measure water and add salt; stir to dissolve and set aside.
- Coarsely dice remaining 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter. Place flour in work bowl of food processor fitted with metal blade; add 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until butter is absorbed -- about ten to twelve 1-second pulses.
- Add remaining butter and pulse once or twice to distribute. Add water and pulse 3 or 4 times, just until dough forms a rough ball. Do not over-process.
- Flour work surface and scrape dough from work bowl. Shape dough into a rough rectangle and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Press dough with rolling pin to flatten, then roll back and forth several times with rolling pin to make a 12 by 18 inch rectangle of dough.
- Peel away plastic wrap and invert dough to floured work surface. Peel away second piece of wrap. Fold dough in thirds in the width, folding the top third down and the bottom third up, to make a 6 by 18-inch rectangle, then roll up the dough from one of the 6-inch ends, making sure to roll end under dough. Press the dough into a square, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour, or until firm.
PUFF PASTRY SAUSAGE ROLLS
I make these as weekend snacks and for parties, I strongly suggest to double the recipe if you are making these for a party. To save some time prepare the sausage mixture up to 24 hours in advance. These are simply delicious, and not hard to make!

Steps:
- Put the flour and a pinch of salt in the food processor. Turn it on and steadily pour in 150ml of water. When the dough comes together, cover it in cling film and chill for 20 mins.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a 25cm circle. Put the butter in between two pieces of baking parchment and soften it by tapping it with a rolling pin. Cut the butter in half and repeat the process until the butter is pliable but still cold. Reshape to the size roughly of a postcard.
- Put the butter in the centre of the pastry and fold over the right and left sides of the circle, overlapping in the middle. Press the dough with your rolling pin to make it longer and then lightly mark into thirds. Fold the bottom third up to cover the middle third and the top third down. Seal the dough gently by pressing down on the edges with your rolling pin. Give the dough a quarter turn.
- Roll the dough out to a long rectangle (roughly 18 x 38cm), keeping the edges square and the sides straight. Mark the dough into thirds again, fold the bottom third up and the top third down. Seal the edges and give the dough a quarter turn. Repeat one more time, cover and chill for 20 mins.
- Repeat step four twice more, chilling each time. Chill for one hour before using. Watch our puff pastry video for a Good Food tutorial.

Steps:
- Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) butter into 1/4-inch cubes. Place in an even layer on a plate and transfer to refrigerator to chill.
- Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Cut remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter into thin slices and add to food processor; pulse to combine. Add 1 cup chilled butter; pulse 3 times, 1 second each pulse. Add half of the water and pulse once; add remaining water and pulse twice. Dough will not form a ball.
- Remove blade from processor by lifting up with the handle. Scrape dough from bowl onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour dough and, using your hands, squeeze and shape dough into a cylinder. Press down to flatten into a rectangle.
- Starting at the narrow end furthest away from you, use a rolling pin to press the dough firmly in parallel strokes close to one another. If there are sticky pieces of butter on the surface, cover with a large pinch of flour and press with the rolling pin to combine. Clean off the rolling pin as you go to make sure nothing sticks to the dough. Continue pressing with the rolling pin, working towards the narrow end closest to you.
- Roll dough into a 10-by 20-inch rectangle. Fold the 10-inch ends over the middle (like a letter) to make three layers. Position one of the (about) 6-inch ends to face you and roll up dough like a jelly roll. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface, seam-side down. Sprinkle top of dough lightly with flour and press down using your hand to form a rectangle.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days before using.
