I saved this recipe with no intention of ever actually making it (like many) but I wanted to make empanadas and decided to try it. Holy moly. It's so flaky and delicious. I'm surprised at the simplicity and perfection of this recipe 😱😍

Glad that it worked out very well for you! Well done!

It didn't work for me..I dont know why..I used plain flour..will that be okay? It became hard and crunchy.. and there weren't proper flakes.. :(

I tried making puff pastry your way, following your instructions exactly and omg...it is amazingly flaky and delicious. Rock hard, frozen butter is a must as you have mentioned! I have made traditional puff pastry as well but undoubtedly this saves so much time and gives similar results. Thanks a lot for this recipe!!

+gemma - Hi, If you can do gluten free puff pastry, that would be fabulous!

[@supadog1133]

THIS IS THE BEST RECIPE. I HAVE MADE IT MULTIPLE TIMES WITH GREAT SUCESS. I would suggest a change that instead of grating your butter with the wrapper on, cover the stick in the cold flour mixture and it should prevent you from melting it and also keeps your hands dry! You don't have to risk getting pieces of paper in your dough. Happy baking!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing, Ella.

What did you bake it on once you rolled it out? For the toaster streudel- I followed the recipe but the butter came out- I put it on 400

All of your videos line the right hand column of my screen right now and I'm so stoked to just sit and watch magic happen.

[@kimberlymayo9951]

Looks good and easy enough.... especially for beginners. Thanks!

[@chrisw6704]

This is incredible pastry, I have made it a couple of times and any over freezes well. Your tip on freezing butter and then grating it has changed the way I bake. So not only for this pastry when I make cheese scones I freeze the butter first, grate it and then I use a hand blender (which I always refer to as my knuckle duster) to make the 'bread crumbs' so my hot hands are never touching the flour or butter. In this way for cheese scone it takes all of 30 seconds to reach bread crumb consistency. The scones are light and airy. So thank you for this great tip which I have adapted to other recipes.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for sharing, Adam. I’m glad that this turned out well for you.

[@mannygarcia1292]

At 73 & pandemic, i started baking... one of the recipes i have made is this puff pastry. i liked the idea of grating the frozen butter that makes it so much easier to mix in. i used my grating blade on my food processor. i only have a small amount that gets stuck on the edges. Then I put the butter in a container and back in freezer until it's needed. I leave the remainder in the food processor, and then change to the mixing blade (ninja) and finish mixing the dough with it. it's fast and the dough doesn't get heated up. i then wrap it in food service film and back in the fridge... the result is that I have the dough ready when i want to make something. I comes out great and has multiple uses... Thanks for sharing

Easy puff pastry Gemma Stafford 2 ⅓ cups (11 ½ oz/ 325g) plain flour14 tablespoons (7 oz/198g) butter, frozenPinch salt8-10 tablespoons chilled water1 tablespoon lemon juice Instructions Place your butter in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours, but preferably overnight. In a jug, mix together your water and lemon juice and set aside. In a large bowl mix together the flour and salt. Now I’m going to sound like a home economics book, but you need everything to be cold to yield great pastry, so feel free to put the bowl of flour in the fridge to chill. On the larger side of a grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the flour mix. Stir the butter into the flour in with a knife. Frozen butter is my secret ingredient. The colder the butter the flakier the pastry. So remember, this is a shortcut short crust pastry, so we aren’t folding and doing that whole process. I’m all for process, but if you get a great result with less work, then I’m all for that too. Add in the liquid, holding a little back just in case you don’t need it all. Using your hand, bring your pastry together gently. You want to add just enough water to bring the pastry together. Too much water will not yield you a flakey dough. Bring the dough together to form a ball. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour. You can refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze to use at a later day. Note: Once you put pastry in the fridge and it relaxes it will get a little wetter so factor that in. To use your pastry: Follow instructions required by the recipe you are making. Alway bake in a HOT oven for best results. for those who are lazy

Can I use this for sausage rolls? I thought you had to fold the pastry to make puff pastry?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

you sure can, its perfect for that.

[@chrisw6704]

Gemma thanks for the recipe. I have used it twice, it is very easy to do and quick to make. I did have to use a little more water to bring it together and the bowl was clean when I brought the pastry together. I have made a couple of pies with the pastry and they were great. I do use perforated bakeware (with a tray under them) this prevents the need to blind bake and also allows some of the fat to run off.

[@HooriX]

I don't understand how it is supposed to become as layered as in normal puff pastry (as said in French, feuilletage) There's another type of puff pastry called rough puff pastry, which I'm sure you must know. I thought it would be like that, but there's still no rolling out. I think its crucial as to the layers to be created. It looks more like shortcrust pastry to me 😕😕 I mean I don't know I'm no expert.

[@r2rob251]

well if you look at her croissants video, you'll see that she does roll out the puff pastry before baking with it

[@Rhjnkiitewsxbmlp]

You're right, you will never get layers with this recipe, I guess it's a shortcut but she shouldn't have called it "Puff pastry" when it's not, it's confusing specially for someone that may not know how puff pastry actually it's made.

[@HooriX]

+arturo ballesteros well it should be said. She didn't say anything or implies that it would be later rolled out for recipes

[@HooriX]

+Cristina FdlH The recipe up to storing in the fridge looks very similar to rough puff pastry, it uses the same technique but it is then rolled out to form layers. I don't know exactly what pastry that is in the end

[@astar2179]

so true. and is it really grating the butter? I'm so confused after watching this

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you Lindsay! i appreciate your kind comments :)

This isn't puff pastry, more like a fine pie crust. 😏

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It is a short cut to puff pastry, without the folding. If you make this quickly, and cold, it produces a great puff pastry, try it :)

Gemma Stafford love your response hunni ;) #stayclassy

It’s called PASTRY, and no it isn’t classic puff pastry obviously. Classic puff pastry takes a LOT of time, but it’s not the only way to get flakey puff type pastry. This would be what I’d call a kind of rough puff pastry, which gives the same layering effect as puff, tho perhaps not as much loft, but enough for most applications.

Mine came out more like a biscuit 😥😥😥
