Cooking with the Young. Puff Pastry Dough (Quick Method)

On this day we cooked "Cheese Shortbread Cookies" with our children and teenagers. They learnt this delicious recipe and enjoy themselves having tea with their own-made cookies.

If you were here that day and want to make it again or if you weren’t and would like to give it a try, here is the recipe, HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!

Puff Pastry Dough (Quick Method)

Prep: 40 minutes Chill: 40 minutes

– 4 cups all­purpose flour

1 – In a large mixing bowl stir stogether flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into 1/2­inch­thick

slices (not cubes). Add butter slices to the flour mixture and toss until slices are coated and

2 ­ Pour ice water over flour mixture. Using a spoon, quickly mix (butter will remain in large

pieces and flour will not be completely moistened.)

3 – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured pastry cloth. Knead dough 10 times by pressing and

pushing dough together to form a rough­looking ball, lifting the pastry cloth if necessary to press

dough together. Shape dough into a rectangle (dough still will have some dry­looking areas). Make

corners as square as possible. Slightly flatten dough.

4 – Working on a well­floured pastry cloth, roll the dough into a 15x12­inch rectangle. Fold

dough crosswise into thirds to form a 5x12­inch rectangle. Give dough a quarter turn; fold

crosswise into thirds to form a 4x5­inch rectangle.

5 – Repeat the rolling and folding process once more, forming a 4x5­inch rectangle. Wrap the

dough with plastic wrap. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Repeat rolling and folding

process 2 more times. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes more before using.

6 – Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half crosswise into 2 equal portions. To store the dough,

wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 3 days. For longer

storage, wrap each dough portion in heavy foil, label, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw the dough,

covered, in the refrigerator about 24 hours before using.

7- Roll out the dough and cut it into discs ("empanada" size). Spread soft butter on top and place a dice of "sweet potato dessert" on the center. "Wrap it up" as if it were a small "package" and bake it!!!!

Baking time: 20 - 25 minutes (180ªC)

8- Enjoy!!!!!
