Next Day

  • Rollout butter piece to long strip about 15 cm wide. Then roll pastry part to same width but half the length. Place pastry in the middle part of the butter and fold top end of the butter over the pastry, then fold bottom over, don not make the two folded over sections touch, leave a gap of about 2cm. Then take bottom section and fold to top like a book fold, cover with cling wrap and chill about1 hr.
    After an hour take out, roll to long strip again about 20 cm wide. Fold top to middle, fold bottom to middle, leave 2cm gap again, the fold bottom over the top, book fold again. Chill 1 hour.
    Final roll, roll pastry to strip again but this time only fold top 1/3 section down, then fold bottom section over it, so only 3 layers instead of 4, chill again about 1 hour, then pastry is ready to use.
    This pastry is quicker than the normal puff pastry, not as many folds and is more crunchy and will melt in your mouth.
