Some of you have asked how to make puff pastry. First let me tell you a little about what is puff pastry. This is a light flaky delicious French pastry dough. Let us not confuse this dough with the Middle Eastern phyllo dough, a very thin single layered dough used in a lot of Greek cooking. Puff pastry comes from a French word “mille feuille” meaning a thousand layers; this is the difference in the two doughs. This is quite an exaggeration but this dough can actually have a hundred layers which are what makes it so light, airy and flaky.
