Needed a last minute garnish, so I decided to give this a try and it worked out well. It was quick and easy to mix. I cut the recipe in half, refrigerated overnight and baked the next morning. I baked at 400 until golden brown. I think this would make an excellent pie crust for quiche.

Wow! I am surprised at how good the end result for this recipe is. I have to say though, I was one of those people who had trouble with sticky dough. I kept thinking to myself, "The end result better be worth all this trouble!" and I'm going to tell you, it sure is! I didn't get time to make this yesterday so I made it this morning and left it in the fridge for a few hours and then stuck it in the freezer for about an hour before I used it. I also chilled a piece of wax paper to roll out the dough between, needless to say - it still got sticky real fast and I used this dough straight out of the freezer. I didn't add any extra flour while rolling it out - so I just may try a sprinkle of flour between wax paper next time. I used this to make Apple Strudel, it was buttery, flaky, delicious. I am definitely making this again - thanks for sharing!

This is insanely good! My husband wanted some apple turnovers, and typically I run to the store and buy frozen puff pastry dough, but thought I would try to make puff pastries from scratch. After searching for puff pastry recipes that seemed awfully complicated, I ran across this one and gave it a try...worked like a champ! Buttery, tender - absolutely perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

A very simple, quick and wonderful recipe! I used whole grain flour and only 3/4 of the butter amount, I added one tablespoon of apple vinegar, and I left it in the refrigerator for only about 2 hours. The pastry still came out wonderfully flaky and light! I had wrapped it around salmon fillets and broccoli, served it with a dill sauce, and I got many compliments. You just have to leave those little butter pieces "as are" while you roll out the dough. Rolling out may be tricky at first (maybe it's better to shape the dough into a thick sheet instead of a ball before you put it into the refrigerator), but just keep rolling, and everything will turn out just fine. And never knead the dough, just put the rests of rolled out and cut dough into layers and roll it out again.

Very rich! This made a wonderful pastry for our apple turnovers. I used 100% whole wheat pastry flour for them and they were delicious.

Excellent! This recipe is soo easy, the kitchenaid mixer did it all and I only chilled it in the freezer for 10 min before rolling - it puffed up well and was tender and flaky - better than the store bought!!

This recipe is SO easy to make and so good to work with - I didn't need any flour at all when rolling it, I jut rolled it on some non-stick paper. After reading that it could go a little too hard when left in the fridge, I decided to put it in the coldest part of the house instead, and that worked just fine. Thank you!

THANK YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU!!! I had been making this pastry dough for years, until I lost the recipe. I called it "1 2 3 Puffed Pastry" because I always doubled the recipe for my LARGE extended family, for the holidays. I remembered the amounts "1 2 3" but my mind kept telling me I used cream cheese. When I found this recipe the light went on...LOL I used SOUR CREAM... not cream cheese...DUH! Roll the dough out thin (1/8" to 1/4") cut out 2-1/2" rounds of dough. Place a scant teaspoonful of Solo brand fruit, nut, or poppy seed filling down the center. Fold the sides up and over the filling, overlapping the dough and pinching together to keep the dough from unfolding during baking. Bake on parchment lined cookie sheets, in a 375 degree oven, 12 to 15 mins or until light golden brown. When baked, cool completely on wire rack and dust with powdered sugar. Since there is no sugar in the dough you can even use savory fillings of cheeses, vegetables or meats, for great appetizers. I can't THANK YOU enough, Patti. My family will be delighted, that I can make one of their favorites once again.

I used a cheese grater to "grate" the butter over the flour. It made for quick work in combining the ingredients. I used reduced fat sour cream and 3/4 cup butter. Resulting dough still baked out beautiful and flakey. Thanks for this easy and terrific recipe, Patti!

I was very glad to find a recipe for puff pastry that didn't call for shortening. However, I couldn't bring myself to use that much butter, either. I halved the butter and it still came out quite flaky and tender--maybe a little stickier than I would have liked when I was rolling it, but I'll take that trade-off for the extra stick of butter!

This was a great recipe. I loved the fact that it called for things I had on hand. Make sure you roll it very thin to get good results! If it's too thick it will resemble a dumpling, and you don't want that!

This is a great recipe. I've tried different recipe for puff pastry but this is the most successful one I ever had.Just follow the directions. Make sure you put some flour on the counter before you roll so it won't stick and also over the dough. It may be hard once it came out from the fridge but please be patient because once you started rolling it, it becomes more softer after. Sprinkle flour often on top so the dough won't stick to the roller. I usually bake it at 350 F and the result is just amazing. My friends love it.

Buttery, crusty and browns nicely. I didn't have time to refrigerate it over night, so I stuck it in the freezer for about 20 minutes then refrigerated it for about another 15 minutes and it worked just fine.

I was surprised by this recipe. I thought it would be more complicated to make puff pastry! I was a bit disappointed with the fact that it didn't bake up as high as I had anticipated but to be fair, after I made the dough, I left it in the fridge for 4 days instead of the one day it calls for...talk about getting sidetracked! Anyway, it was still good and I will make again.
