  1. Which butter is advised to use? Real amul butter or other cheap margarine or amul delicious or same type of what is called like vimal etc.?

    1. Real butter made with milk cream and not any substitute butter or margarine or flavored butter. Use any good brand but do check for the ingredients on the package.

  2. Hi i am using microwave convection oven. It has microwave,grill,convection, combination as its mode. Which mode am i supposed to used for making puffs.4 stars

  3. Hi Dassana,
    The butter started melting while rolling and I had to literally keep it in the fridge after each roll. So ended up doing traditional way ?One doubt I have is in this case whether traditional method is better because we are keeping 1 rectangular butter piece in the middle and rolling. So will it help in reducing melting? The method used here has large amounts of butter cubes in the dough. Also I have seen some videos where melted butter is used and a tsp of it is spread after each roll.

    1. remya, in warmer or hotter days, the butter does melt. in traditional method also butter melts. while living in goa, where it is more hot, the butter would melt always. i tried three to four times with the traditional method and then gave up. even i have seen some recipes where melted butter is used. but i do not know how the texture will be. you can chop the butter cubes to slightly smaller cubes and then add to the flour.

  4. heyy
    i made this ,first time did not puffed as i made it so thin the dough,
    but next time i made it thick as 1cm and kept it cold to oven and yesss it turned out so good and the layered opened up.
    tnxxxx to u a bunch

    1. yes mahsa, the pastry sheet has to thick when adding the filling, otherwise they do not puff. the sheets have to be cold when stuffing is added as that helps them to puff well when baking. good to know that second time the results were good and you did the right thing.

    1. you can use ghee. but with ghee the aroma changes. though i think it will still taste good. but don’t use dalda or vanaspati as they are hydrogenated fats and not good for the heart.

    1. i tried twice with whole wheat flour and crust did not come out good when baked. its dense and moreover there is no lightness. so i would suggest to use all purpose flour. but you can give a try with half-half of both whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. if using whole wheat flour, then some more water will be required to bind the dough.

  5. hi, shouldn’t there be more butter added to the pastry during the process of rolling? puff pastry is about putting butter between the pastry, so that it can divide and become puffy during baking.

    1. ania, the method that are you are mentioning, is the traditional method. this is a quick rapid method of making puff pastry and helps homemakers who do not have much time on hand, but want to make puff pastry dough at home for their kids and family. these also get puffed up while baking but not that much as compared to the ones which are conventionally made. i will add the traditional method too in some time.
