Puff Pastry Recipe

[@PreppyKitchen]

At last!! So many of you asked for my homemade puff pastry recipe and I finally got a chance to film it! I'm so excited to share this recipe since it helps you make amazing tarts and pastries at home without having to buy the frozen stuff from the grocery store. Happy baking!

It really helps to dunk the block of butter into the flour when grading, makes is much easier to grate

[@colormeorchid]

This was so much easier than I could have imagined. Thank you for helping me conquer my puff pastry fears!!

[@Elimoo]

Was brave enough to try this recipe tonight after a dismal failure with a different recipe almost 12 months ago. I'm very happy to report it was a complete success and I made a delicious spinach and feta pie. Thank you for your generous instruction. I will never go back to store bought or any other recipe. From Australia👍

Every recipe from this channel I've tried has worked FLAWLESSLY! This is no exception. Even in a hot kitchen, with hot hands, in a tropical climate, John somehow guided me to make puffy, puff pastry. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@DaughterofJC]

I've found that freezing the flour helps too. Just pop the bowl in the freezer until the butter is ready. I've also learned that a bench scraper can be your best friend!

[@lauraromeroescarcega3079]

Perfectly pronounced “pastelitos de guayaba” so glad I found you, simple recipes are encouraging for people who want to try challenge themselves in the kitchen, you are a very pleasant person to listen to. My mother used to make appetizers filled with cooked tuna or poblano rajas with table cream 😋🤤🇺🇸🇲🇽

Do u know what would happen if you don’t chill it for the two hours or overnight

[@michaelcook3168]

I tried the American butter, against your advice, and it still turned out nice. The good butter is so expensive, I didn't think it would hurt to try the cheep stuff. I'm glad I did. Maybe it depends too on the specific brand.

[@newenglandman2413]

I've used only American butter, common supermarket stuff, and it always works perfectly fine. But I think he works the dough too much with his hands; that may be part of the problem. I work it for only a few minutes at a time and then stop and refrigerate for a while. It's key that the butter not melt or even get too soft. I start it the old fashioned way, with frozen blocks of butter and beat them with the rolling pin. lol

[@thatfeelingwhenyoufeel.]

I used blue bonnet and it worked great I don’t think European is worth it

[@marciacharles4168]

In Trinidad we put , minced chicken, beef, pork, fish, cheese ,potatoes in them, and call pies.😋 U can maybe try it out next time.

[@lydiaramafoko8745]

South Africa too and tourists love them. Chicken pie and cheese one are my favorites.

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I've been making scones like crazy for the past month. One tip I learned from a commenter was to put the cheese grater in the fridge. I tried putting it in the freezer but my frozen butter got stuck every single time. I switched to that tip and the butter released from the grater with just a tap. You don't have to keep it in there long. In fact I noticed the longer I did it didn't release as easily. I'd say about 15-20 mins tops and you should be good. Hope this helps someone...

This dude can hear what my heart says at 3am. Where I live puff pastry is not readily available so the requirement of puff pastry has held me back quiet a bit.

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

Puff pastry is one of those things, like soufflés, that terrify even many excellent and experienced cooks. Once you realize its all about patience and (simple) technique, and then your glorious, golden product emerges from the oven looking absolutely stellar, you become a lot harder to frighten or intimidate in the kitchen.

[@lisaanderson135]

I only use Plugra butter. I also laminate my butter and dough in an opposite form. I create the dough as the butter block and the butter as the outer dough layer. Sounds crazy, but it works like a charm! I have made this rough puff for many things, but it doesn’t work if you want to do decorative scoring or defined laminated layers. Don’t get me wrong, rough puff is my go to... but if I have extra time I make the traditional French puff pastry

[@CatsPajamas23]

Butter... flour...lots of chilling, folding, rolling. I noticed when I used to make this that the butter would pool by the ounce while it was baking. Maybe that was because of the water content. It still came out ok, but the butter on the bottom would formed a very brown layer of very thin film (When I made this or croissants I used to get the butter from either Costco or a local dairy.)

In Brazil, the combination of Goiabada (Goiaba Jam) and Cheese is called 'Bem Casado' (Well Married). Pastelitos are Cuban in origin, I think... In Brazil it's very common to find desserts combining Goiabada and Cheese and the result is always the same: deliciously AWSOME!
