Quick puff pastry in 15 minutes
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Pastry items are very popular: they are light and crispy. If you don't want to use store-bought puff pastry, and don't have time to make classic puff pastry, use this simple recipe. In the past, when puff pastry wasn't yet sold in stores, my grandmother—who was a great baking expert—used to make it this way. With this dough, we baked "Napoleon" cake, as well as pies with various fillings (both savory and sweet). I'm sharing it with you. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
