Make the quick puff pastry: Place 2 eggs in a measuring cup. add 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of 5 % vinegar. Add approximately 350 ml (12 fl oz) of ice cold water and mix well. In total, we should have 500ml of liquid. Place in the fridge.
Sift 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of flour onto the table. Grate 800 grams (28 oz) of frozen butter or margarine into the flour, mixing the butter with flour frequently.
Make a well, and pour in the liquid and mix.
Don’t knead the dough. Fold it onto itself: lift the sides and fold towards the middle, creating layers. Gather any pieces of dough left on the table, and add them to the dough.
Shape into a rectangular, wrap with plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It is best to refrigerate the dough for 10-12 hours before using. Quick puff pastry can be kept in the fridge for a few days, or stored in the freezer for a few months. It is best to thaw frozen puff pastry in the fridge.
