Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
2/3 cup ice water

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork.
Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a long rectangle. Fold it into thirds like a letter, then rotate and roll out again.
Repeat the folding and rolling process five more times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each fold.
After the final fold, wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before using.
Use the puff pastry as needed for recipes, rolling it out before baking.

Notes

Storage: Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Customization: Add a bit of sugar for a sweeter pastry.
Serving Tip: Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown for best results.
