What Is Puff Pastry
Puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, is a light, flaky, and buttery pastry dough. It is made from a laminated dough, which involves layering dough with butter and repeatedly folding and rolling it out. The process creates many thin layers of dough separated by layers of butter. When baked, the water in the butter turns to steam, causing the dough to puff up and separate into delicate, crisp layers. They are bakery staples.
Now days ready rolled puff pastry sheets are easily available in all supermarkets making it amazingly simple to make puff pastry appetizers and puff pastry snacks in under 20 minutes. Here’s one simple recipe for making some delicious slightly tangy and slightly sweet lemony puff pastry bites that tastes amazing.
