Grain-Free Puff Pastry

Course Pastry
Keyword crust, pastry, puff pastry
Prep Time 10 minutes
chilling time 3 hours

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pastured butter
  • 4-6 tbsp water cold
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups "Paleo flour" Bob's Red Mill
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Freeze butter for a few hours prior to making this recipe. 
  • Mix together water and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together flour and salt. 
  • Grate (just like grating cheese) frozen butter. I used a grater with large holes. A cheese peeler also works nicely. Mix butter into the dry mixture. I used my hands to really blend everything together. 
  • Slowly add in the water and lemon mixture, taking care to add a little at a time. I found I did not need it all using the "Paleo flour". The desired dough will be soft and pliable but not "wet".
  • Wrap the dough in saran wrap and chill in the refrigerator until use.
