Quick Puff Pastry

Pour all the flour onto your work surface and top with the butter, diced into roughly 1 x 1 cm cubes. Toss the butter pieces in the flour, then use a rolling pin to roll through the butter and flour until the cubes are flattened into razor-thin sheets.

Dissolve the salt and sugar in the water, drizzle the ice water over the flour, and moisten it thoroughly. Using a bench scraper to help, gather the dough into a ball.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Next, flour your work surface and roll the dough out into a 30 x 15 cm rectangle.
