Puff pastry

Many housewives do not trust the semi-finished products that are sold in stores, so they try to cook everything on their own. Puff pastry for reeds is not difficult to do, for this you need such ingredients: about 230 g of flour, as well as a small amount for sprinkling and rolling the dough, a little salt, 30 g of pork fat, 215 g of butter and 150 ml of cool water.

Cooking process

1. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with salt and rub them with fat. After that, gradually add water and knead the dough.
2. Collect the dough in one bowl and continue to knead it for 5 minutes. It should turn out smooth and elastic.
3. Now you need to roll the dough into a rectangle about 12.5x25 cm in size. Roll out so that in the middle it is slightly thinner than at the edges.
4. The butter must be wrapped with baking paper and rolled into a rectangle about 10x7.5 cm in size. After that, place it in the center of the dough and bend the edges to the center to make an envelope.
5. To distribute the butter, slightly roll out the dough, and then quickly quickly triple the rectangle with your hands, and again wrap it several times and slightly squeeze the edges.
6. Wrap the prepared dough in cling film and refrigerate for half an hour. Then get it, roll it out and fold the words. Repeat this procedure 6 times. If you notice that the dough is sticking, then put it in the refrigerator for a while before each rolling.
   

Puff "tongues" from the finished dough

If you decide not to bother and buy a ready-made dough, the cooking process will take much less time, which is sometimes just necessary. For this version of the dish you need to take the following ingredients: packing dough (300 g), about 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar and flour for rolling, about 1 teaspoon. Puff pastry tongues do not require any other ingredients.

Cooking process

Thanks to the use of purchased flaky text, the cooking process is greatly simplified, and the cooking time is reduced to a minimum, which is simply necessary in case of unexpected guests. Puff tongues from the finished dough are prepared in this way:

1. Thaw the dough at room temperature. After that, it should be slightly crushed with sugar, and then using a rolling pin to press it. Just remember, the dough itself does not need to be rolled out.
2. Now you need to cut it into rectangles in batches, or if you want, select any other shape. Just the rectangle is chosen because of the name of the dish - “tongues” from puff pastry.
   
3. You need to preheat the oven directly with a baking sheet. After 5-10 minutes, remove it and sprinkle with a small amount of flour, but you do not need to lubricate it. A baking sheet with “tongues” must be put in the oven for 25 minutes and baked at a temperature of 200 degrees.

During cooking, the dough will rise and stratify. Serving such a dish is best with tea or compote. If you want to add sweets, you can spread honey or jam on them.
