Grammie's Pastry

My grandmother (grammie) taught me how to make pastry when I was little. Even though she can't make it anymore, everytime I make some for an apple pie, I always remember us making it together. She was taught the recipe by her mom so it is a family thing. Hope you enjoy! This makes enough for about 2 big pies dessert or dinner. It also stores in the freezer for later up to 2 months.

Puff Pastry Puff Pastry
This originally started with me wanting to make arlettes and palmiers but not really being motivated to buy puff pastry from the store. I got a day off work and decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a lot of fun to do and you get a much better pastry than the store bought one.You definitely need a french rolling pin for working the butter. Whether or not you need a pastry scrape depends on how hot your kitchen is. It's been a chilli winter for me so I didn't actually use mine.Puffy pastry is best used the day you make it but you can keep it in a Tupperware container for a few days in the fridge. Chris Jordan -

Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry
This puff pastry is a family recipe passed down to me from my mom. Frozen puff pastry is easy to use, but homemade puff pastry is truly delicious.I think it's better to make the crust in a cool place so the butter won't melt. The dough won't come together easily at first, but don't give up. As you continue rolling it out and folding it, it will come together. Recipe by Bulgari angel cookpad.japan -
