I always wondered how they get those layers in puffs. a sucker for ‘making form scratch I have tried to make puff pastry sheets at home… but failed every time I tried. Never managed to get the same kind of layers in my puffs… But will keep trying util then…..
I have ( late but nonetheless) discovered these wonder pastry puff sheets. They make the whole process of making puffs much more simple. Just leave enough time to get the pastry sheets to room temperature and you are ready to go..
