WHAT IS PUFF PASTRY?
Puff pastry is a light, buttery, flaky dough used in both sweet and savory dishes. It contains three ingredients: flour, butter and salt.
This flaky pastry rises beautifully without a drop of baking powder or baking soda. No leavening agent required.
The baking technique was perfected in France many years ago.
However, puff pastry is loved worldwide. It’s used to make appetizers, desserts and main dishes.

THE MAIN INGREDIENT
Simply remove from package, separate along perforations, place on a baking sheet and bake.
Mise en place is a super time saver. This French cooking term translates as “putting in place.”
It means prepping/measuring ingredients and chopping food before you start cooking. It’s the perfect way to get organized and avoid missing an ingredient or missing a step in the instructions.
