Puff Pastry
For some of you finding puff pastry sheets in your grocery store is easy. Not me, I have no luck in getting them and my super market doesn’t stock them too.

I was too scared to make my very own puff pastry sheets. Because I thought it is so hard to make. So kind of stayed away from them. But many of my viewers requested the recipe. So I got the confidence to give this a try. It was a huge success and I used it to make veg puffs, egg puffs and chicken puffs.
About Puff Pastry (Homemade)
I love making puffs, but the only thing puts me off is making the pastry from scratch since it will take lots of effort to make the sheets rather than the puffs. In my place i couldn’t get puff pastry in my shops. So if I have to make anything using that I have to make it from scratch.
Few days back I wanted to try chicken and leek pie. So I decided to try out my own pastry. It is such a fail-proof easy recipe to make. It takes less than 30 mins to make from scratch.
I have shared two ways of making puff pastry in this recipe. Puff pastry with butter using a traditional lamination process which is so easy to follow if you try my method. Also a simple puff pastry dough made with shortening which is my favorite.

Plain Flour – You need to use good quality plain flour also known as All purpose flour for making the dough.
Shortening or Butter – You should use high quality butter or shortening. Make sure the butter is cold before using. make sure you use unsalted butter for making puff pastry.
Salt – I like to use unsalted butter for making puff pastry. So I can control the salt level in the pastry dough.
Sugar – this is optional but I like to use powdered sugar to help with the caramelisation.
Cold Water – use cold water for making the dough.

Bakery Style Puff Pastry Tips & Tricks
Always Keep Cold – Make sure you keep the butter and the dough cold, which makes the pastry flaky.
Using Shortening – In my personal opinion, shortening makes flaky pastry just like bakery style. Use vegetable shortening for easy and flaky puff pastry.
Storage – Puff pastry dough can be stored in fridge for at least 3 to 4 days wrapped in plastic wrap.
Puff Pastry Baking Temperature – Once the puff pastry is made. Roll it into rectangle. Cut it into squares. Fill with your favorite filling, fold it and brush with an egg wash. Now Bake at 220 degree C for 20 to 25 mins.
