Preparation: 2 hours

Ingredients:

- 5 cups of flour
- 1 1/4 cup of butter or margarine
- 11/4 cup of warm water

According to the use :

- 1 tsp of salt (purpose = starter or main dish)
or
- 2 tbsps of sugar (purpose = dessert)

Directions:

Knead the flour with salted or sweetened water.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Have the butter refrigerated to keep cold.

On a work surface, spread out the flour in a circle.

Cut the butter into small cubes and put it in the center of the flour.

Fold back the 4 sides of the rounds like an envelope.
Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Extend in a rectangular form and fold it into 3.

Put the top below and turn 1/4 of a turn.

Spread out again in a rectangle.
Fold into 3.

Let it rest 20 minutes.

That made 2 turns and it is necessary to make 6 of them.
Thus, start the same operation again 2 more times.

The dough is then ready to be used.
It can be kept for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.

The longer it rests, the better it will be in the layering.
It also freezes very well, therfore don't be afraid to make it in greater quantity.

Let it rest a minimum of 20 minutes.
