A Step-by-Step How To: Blitz Puff Pastry Part 1 - Making the Dough


	Combine the dry ingredients well and pour them out onto a clean work surface.

Place diced, chilled butter on top of the dry ingredients.	Begin gently mixing the two, making sure not to break up the butter any more than necessary.

There should be large pieces of butter remaining.	Add the liquid and mix by hand just until it is incorporated. Again, make sure to disturb the large pieces of butter as little as possible.

Use a bench scraper to mound the flour, butter and liquid dough all together.	Pat the dough together to form one cohesive dough. This is not to say that the dough will be smooth. Adversely, the dough should remain a bit crumbly looking.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes.	Remove the dough from the plastic and place on a lightly floured surface. See the pictorial "Blitz Puff Pastry Part 2" for instruction on rolling out the dough.
