Puff Pastry
Ingredients
200 gm Plain flour
Salt
200 gm Butter or margarine
250 ml Water
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
Method
Sift the flour and salt. Mix the dough to a rolling consistency with the lemon juice and cold water. Use only as much of the water as you need.
Roll the dough into an oblong shape. Spread some of the fat over the pastry and fold. Seal the edges and roll out again. Repeat at least 7 times. Keep the pastry in a cool place until required.
To cook, heat the oven to 250�C. Bake the pastry for 10 minutes then switch the oven off and leave to cook for a further 15 minutes. Take care not to let the pastry burn.
Notes
I usually buy pre-made puff pastry - it is a lot easier!
