Rough Puff Pastry
« on: May 22, 2011, 09:17:02 am »
I wasn't sure which section to put this in and thought that I do use Puff Pastry a lot when making starters and snacks, so here it is!
This recipe is taken from the British Larder and rather than repeat myself, I'll just link to my blog post.
It is absolutely superb!

Thanks MJ. With the cooler weather around more pies will be on the menu.

Will try this version as the one we have in the french books asks for frozen cubed butter and rolling and folding and resting in the fridge for periods of time...this seems much easier and seems to have the same result...thanks meganjane  :)

I'm making pasties with this today and they look wonderful! I halved the recipe and made 2 lots. It's so rewarding and the rolling gives you a bit of a workout!

Here's the post for the pasties.

I made this yesterday - thanks Meganjane.  I didn't however let it rest as I ran out of time.  I was intending to use bought pastry, but it was too old and yuk so did a quick search and used this.  It was delightful.  Very short as it hadn't rested.  But I'll never buy pastry again.  It's a big recipe, easily halved.  But I have 2 batches in the freezer now.  Thanks again.

My pleasure Narelle! I'm going to look at a reduced fat version when I have time and will certainly keep everyone here posted.
