Step cooking
- The day of the beginning of 310 grams of flour must be sifted, then pour it into a deep bowl.
- Add ½ teaspoon of salt, mix.
- Then cut 180 grams of butter into cubes and add to the flour.
- Grind the butter in a bowl with a knife or a special device. You can also grate the chilled butter. As a result, you should get such a "baby".
- Now we will knead the dough with sour cream. Pour 180 grams of sour cream and knead with a fork.
- When the dough thickens a little, knead it a little with your hands, as if collecting the dough in a lump.
- Transfer the dough into a plastic bag and put in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, the dough is ready to use.
Tips
- Start cooking in an even, good mood. This is very important for the test.
- The quality of the finished products is well improved by chicken eggs.
- To make the product more magnificent and tasty, some housewives add a little rum or brandy to the dough.
- Always sift the flour, this will significantly enrich it with oxygen.
- Water for the test should be cold, but not icy. You can also take milk, but then the elasticity of the dough will decrease. An ideal option would be a mixture of water and milk.
- Finished puff pastry is always cut only with a sharp knife.
- Lubricate only the top of the product with a chicken egg, but if you grease the sides, it will be difficult to lift the dough.
- It is not recommended to open the oven for the first 7 minutes of baking!
- Flour in oil promotes the formation of strong layers of dough.
- Ready-made pastries from puff pastry are made out only when the product cools down a little.
