Puff Pastry Fail
I’m trying to make Pastel de Nata from scratch and it’s my first time ever trying to make puff pastry. It didn’t look great during the first few folds, but looked good enough right up until the last (6th) fold. Pretty sure my butter broke apart at some point and made it lumpy.
The pastel recipe is from a Rita Nascimento English language cookbook I got while in Portugal, so I decided to try using her puff pastry recipe as well. I’m planning on making the pastel tomorrow morning for a get together. I’m wondering if I should just go store bought instead.
250g AP Flour
150g cold water
1/2 tsp salt
200g butter
