Pecan Pie Puff Pastry
From sweet to savory, this puff pastry’s flaky, buttery layers make the perfect base for many dishes, including pecan pie!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter cold and cut into small cubes, unsalted
- 2/3 cup water ice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and toss to coat.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces of butter remaining.
- Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a rectangle. Roll out the dough, then fold it into thirds like a letter. Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat the rolling and folding process 5 more times.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. This allows the gluten to relax and the butter to chill, which is essential for flaky layers.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough as needed to fit your pie dish. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
