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!

How about adding some chocolate in each layer?

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

[@heyyallitsmsamy6158]

Thanks for this little tip, that's good to know!

Ugh! thank you 😂 I wish I knew this the first time I made it lol

[@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👍

[@michellecolledge2355]

Did you find Merrygold butter? If so, where did you find it?

[@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 😋🤤🇺🇸🇲🇽

[@dragon_empress_1]

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. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@robinabhuiyan9774]

I've made this twice so far, and love it so much! I've tried two of your recipes and love them to the point where I don't want to try out anything new! I think your page will be my go to when I want to try something new. Your approach gives me the courage to try.

[@beenathomas8262]

Hi,How much of butter did you use??

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

After a very stressful few days, your video is just what I need it! Love your videos, I've made a few of your recipes and we all love how it turns out!! Can't wait to try this one, we make our own butter, with heavy cream, I hope it's good enough! ❤️ Thank you! Ps. I'm Mexican, I love how you say "Pastelitos", just perfect 👌🏼 like your cooking. Greetings!

[@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!

[@pamelabeauty1063]

I love that butter! The only butter I use for baking. Cant wait to make this recipe 😊

[@dianac52176]

I’m already on to my second of your bazillion videos. You are a pleasure to watch, and listen to. I’ll bet your students enjoyed you as a teacher, mentor, and role model.

[@jengentry06]

We live in Mexico and, while I've seen Kerrygold butter on occasion in certain stores, I don't recall ever seeing puff pastry dough. Soo excited to see this recipe because now I can make my own! Well, I can attempt it, anyway. ;-) Thank you!

[@luceliapretorius4155]

Yeah here in Vietnam they don't sell puff pastry either! So sad. Now I can just attempt to make my own😁. I think I have seen Kerry gold butter in stores but its so expensive!!!

I’m a new subscriber in love with puff pastry. I really appreciated your commenting about the different butters. So important 💜 I’m not really known for my patience, but I will give this a try. If I’m going to cheat on my Keto, I want it to be worthwhile 🤣 💜💜💜

Thank you! My mom really wants a mille feuille, and with this I can actually surprise her with one! :)

[@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

[@nazeeham354]

thank you . really a lot of puff pastry recipes forget there are hot climates and people with warm hands. definitely going to try this

[@Lola-tw4zp]

Thank you for this recipe! One of my favorites is definitely pastelitos de guayaba (which you pronounced perfectly).

[@lisamendez4309]

It’s so puffy and light. Never thought to the grate butter. Oh how fun and yummy yum yum.

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

Just so happens I have a package of kerrygold in the fridge, along with some domestic butter, saw it in the dairy case, and it just appealed to me, appreciate you explaining the differences in the product composition :)

[@tanyarut1918]

Thank you for the clear instructions, you were great. 😮That looks simple enough, I’m going to give it a try. It beats paying $6+ for two sheets.

[@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...

[@sylviaperez9467]

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. Edit: I just made the pastry...it is absolutely amazing!!! Give it a shot without any hesitation. If you live in india try it with president brand butter and not amul. It does wonders

[@chandrakalagm6725]

Thank you for the butter recommendation. I was going out of my mind thinking what would be the Indian equivalent for Kerrygold europian butter

[@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

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.)
