Ensure butter and water are cold for flaky layers in your homemade puff pastry.
Opt for high-fat butter to enhance the richness and flavor of your puff pastry.
Fold and roll the dough multiple times to create distinct layers for a flaky texture.
Roll the dough evenly to maintain consistent thickness, promoting uniform puffing during baking.
Allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator between folds to relax gluten and enhance flakiness.
Avoid overworking the dough; handle it gently to maintain the integrity of the layers.
Bake in a preheated, hot oven for a quick puff and golden-brown finish on your pastry.
