a layer after layer after layer of dough andbutter. when that hits the heat in the oven it puffs right up and gets nice and flaky.now puff pastry isn't the same as phyllo and that is the kind of a misconception phyllois made with oil and that makes it really really crispy as oppose to flaky when it isheated. puff pastry must be kept cold you thaw it a little bit if you buy the preparedpuff pastry. here are two sheets of puff pastry as they look when they come right out of thefreezer. these have been thawing for about a half an hour, you want half an hour to fortyminutes of thawing time before you start to roll it out. some of the things you can makewith puff pastry are pastry pinwheels, apple turnovers, or beef willington that is a reallygood standard of dish that you make with puff
