Instructions:

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter cubes and incorporate them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice-cold water while stirring the mixture with a fork. Continue mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a few minutes until it forms a smooth ball. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. After the dough has chilled, dust your work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately ½ inch thick.
5. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Turn it 90 degrees and roll it out again into a rectangle. Repeat the folding and rolling process three more times, chilling the dough for 15 minutes between each fold.
6. Once you have completed the final fold, wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out to your desired thickness for your recipe.
8. Cut the rolled-out dough into the desired shapes for your puff pastry creations. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
10. Allow the puff pastry to cool slightly before using it in your favorite sweet or savory recipes. Enjoy the flaky, buttery goodness you’ve created!
11. Homemade puff pastry can also be frozen for future use. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.

Ingredients

• 1 egg yolk
•  1 tablespoon heavy cream
•  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•  2/3 cup powdered sugar
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  8 tablespoons of cubed, cold, unsalted butter

Recipe

1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and vanilla extract. 
2. In a food processor, add in flour, powdered sugar, and salt to combine. Add in the butter and pulse 15-20 times until the mixture looks like coarse sand.
3. Slowly add in the wet ingredients while you pulse.
4. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and pour out the dough and flatten it into a disk about 6-inches in diameter.
5. Cover it in plastic wrap, chill for 1 hour, and take it out 10 minutes before you want to use it. 
6. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry so it’s a little bigger than your tart pan, and then place the pastry in the pan.
7. Freeze the shell for 30 minutes before you bake for 30 minutes at 375 F, with foil on it and baking beans to weigh it down. 
8. Rotate halfway, then bake for 5-10 minutes uncovered and pull it out when it’s golden.
9. Cool and then fill with any type of pastry cream, another filling, and fruit!
