Homemade puff pastry

OP- The more important question is – are you a

FAT WHORE?

Ina says just buy it at the store.

I think we all know the obvious answer to that questions, R1.

Why bother?

I love pastry of all kinds OP. But I follow Ina’s advice and buy it at the stores You can also buy GF (gluten free) puff pastry.

R4- I feel the same way about Chinese food- Why bother?

because it is fun

Made it. Wasnt as good as store purchased, lacked the crispness but...it came out like quality croissants.

You got too much time on your hands-help someone who is in need-do the right thing-OMG

So does Greg.

Ina-shminer.

Thanks, r8 and all. I don't mind a bit of extra effort for gains in quality/flavor, but it doesn't sound like there's return on investment.

Referring to oneself in the third person constantly can sometimes indicate a disconnection from reality or a mental health condition, such as schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder.

It is important to approach such behavior with empathy and sensitivity, as it may signal distress or impairment in functioning.

Stigmatizing or labeling the person without understanding the underlying reasons is not beneficial.

Professional evaluation and support from mental health professionals may be helpful in such cases.

OP, look for a rough puff pastry recipe. It’s not as involved as traditional but provides perfectly acceptable results in a fraction of the time and effort.

Well, Greg’s glad he doesn’t do it constantly.

Do you know what ‘constantly’ means?

What a dumb shit you are.

Now go fuck off.

Payshree shwahnsh!

R10 What does "Ina-shminer" mean?

R16, it means go fuck off.

They're always doing "rough puff" on the Great British Bake-Off. I'd never heard of that, or hot-water pastry, until I started watching that show.

R17 No seriously, what does it mean? Does it not mean anything at all?

It's like Ina-Schmina, r19.

R20 It wasn't funny and he fucked it up.

That happens.

Just what did I fuck up, R21?

R22, thanks for your always kind comments.

Not worth the trouble. Buy it at store.

I haven't bought any in a long time, but I seem to recall that some brands of the frozen puff pastry didn't use all butter. I can't imagine that would be too good.

What the hell, why not give it a try?

It looks to be more tedious than difficult.

I would give it a try.

Every pastry student does the swan thing.

Puff, strudel, phyllo.

I do them all.

I love eating puff pastry so I sometimes just think about it rather than actually do it. It's really unhealthy and addictive. And to actually make it? Way too much effort - even for a boring rainy day.

And I made them for bake sales in junior high.

I tried once but it doesn't work in a warm and humid house. A good cooking exercise but not worth the trouble.

R31 Well I made them in fifth grade.

R33, Well, I made them in second grade—but perfected them and sold them in junior high.

Olly Alexander, Eurovision pass around bottom, will be visiting Walford.

Oops! Please disregard!

R34 I made them in the womb.

r35 Is he Puff, the Magic Drag Queen?

Frozen parathas are a cheap and easy hack for puff pastry. It was a game changer for me.

I agree with the buy it. There is no real point why you would go through the trouble of making your own puff pastry. It's a lot of work, things can go wrong, and the end result is unlikely to be better than just buying it.
