Thanks for this recipe! Very quick to make. I did three or four rollings and half-turnes till it demanded too much streanth to roll on. and then just rolled out and cut pices for a pie. It was not very puffy, but who said it has to be? It was nice and crispy, and hold it together nicely, and more imoprtant, quite quick to make.

    Thanks for this recipe, it tasted nice and flaky. I think the result was a little more like ruff puff though since I didn't get lots of layers.

    I've not only never made puff pastry - I've never cooked with it either: THis is fool-proof. I used light butter and subbed 1/2 whole wheat flour. I used it for brie and rasberry baked pastries to go with champagne = what a treat! Thanks for a great recipe!
