If you need to whip up delicious baked goods, make an instant puff pastry at home. Just 15 minutes, and you can pick up a recipe. I offer three options - the simplest, in butter, the more rich - in sour cream, and yeast dough in thin layers. The dough is light, airy. Suitable for baking cakes, including the eminent Napoleon, samsa, tongues, puff buns with a filling, savory pies. And many other tasty treats.

The lamination of the dough structure is given by chopped butter and flour. The fact is that, with all the desire, it is impossible to evenly distribute fat. Due to this cooking technology, layers are obtained.

Attention! The appearance of citric acid or vinegar in recipes shouldn't confuse you. An acidic environment improves lamination. Do not report it - the stratification will decrease, instead of the desired product you will get shortbread dough. There is enough acid in the recipe with sour cream.

The first important step is to put the water in the freezer for a while, it should be very cold, almost ice cold. Then pour into a bowl. At the same time, send the oil to the freezer.

Beat in an egg, salt, splash with lemon juice.

Whisk well and place on the refrigerator shelf. Do everything quickly so that the contents do not have time to warm up.

Pour flour onto your work surface. Remove the oil from the freezer. We freeze the oil for one purpose - it is rubbed much easier without smearing on the grater.

Begin to rub the oil with the shavings on the coarse mesh of the grater. Sprinkle the grater with flour constantly so that the oil does not stick. For the same purpose, constantly dip the piece in flour.

Rub in small portions, immediately stirring the shavings with flour. When the oil is empty, both components should be completely mixed.

Gather the crumb into a pile, make a depression. Pour in the egg mixture cooled by that time.

Add eggs gradually while stirring.

When the mass is over, it remains to take the last step - to collect the dough in a lump.

The dough does not need to be kneaded, just make it into a lump.

Transfer it to a plate, cover with cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. After a set time, delicious pastries can be baked from the finished puff pastry.
