Brill, brill, brill! Used this for Beef Wellington.
Cheated and used my sexy Kenwood mixer, which made it even easier!

I'm really impressed with this easy recipe. All I ever manage to make in the kitchen is a big mess. But have used this recipe for a chicken and leek pie today. Not only is it edible, but the pastry worked like a dream. Thanks, Gordon!!

I'm afraid it didn't work for me. I think I didn't get the different quantities quite right. Will try again soon.

Light and a little flaky that was just right.Perfect for portugese tarts. Delighted with result. But will reduce butter the next time.

On a very low fat diet for medical reasons so I should not really even touch this... but I HALVED the amount of butter and it still came out amazingly well and was truly delicious. I used it to top a chicken, ham and leek pie. And yes, I did have some!

A simple recipe to follow with excellent results. Will certainly be making this pastry again.

Added a bit more of a cheat - I used frozen butter and grated directly into flour ( flour fingers b4 grating). Used very cold water and knife to mix and rolled straight away x3. Covered in cling film and left half an hour. Made a light crispy crust for my chicken and courgette pie...

My friends and I had a Bakeathon one evening at Sarah's and we all made different baking delights - I went savoury and made sausage rolls using this pastry recipe. First ever puff pastry attempt for me. I found rolling into a rectangle quite difficult - I know it sounds inept especially as no one else has mentioned but this was the hardest thing. I also feel I did not get the butter marbled texture right resulting in not that flaky but very tasty pastry.
Tasted by many and very good comments on taste and texture. I will be trying again :)

First time I've made my own puff pastry, it was so easy to do and turned out perfectly, tasted lovely. I won't be buying reasy made any more

Alot of cooks for some reason i dont know why is that 250grams of plain flour is equal to 1 cup of flour,this is NOT TRUE 250
grams of flour is equal to 2 and 1/4 cups flour thats why alot of you ended up with sloppy dough its best to use digital kitchen scales if in doubt

I very much like to test this recipe and wonder if someone here can help me out! English is not my native language and I don't really understand the folding part (4). Any help?

Brilliant recipe, so easy to make. I always try to make a couple of additional batches at a time so there is some for the freezer. It works just as well after being frozen, I do that with the scraps too. I use it for Cornish pasties and my family just love them.

I have never really cooked in my life and I thought I'd try this, holy cow it worked and tasted awesome! Let's get cooking!

If there is a God of cooking Godon must be his prophet. Wonderful pastry recipe.Best regards

Very easy to make for a first timer like me. Tasted great!

This s a brilliant recipe .I made one of my mum's recipes which is a corned beef pie using this for the pastry.I didn't have strong flour so thought I would chance it and use normal flour and it came out beautiful..I have only ever made my own pastry a handful of times but will be making more now I have this recipe...

Great, great, great! Like others have said, I've never tried to make puff pastry before, believing it to be too difficult. Not so! Just by following this recipe closely, the resulting pastry was wonderful. It even puffed up! I used it for Gordon's beef wellington; fab.

So SO simple, with yummy results.

My tip: seems to be even better if you can leave in the fridge overnight before use, but is good even if you used it after 20 mins.

Winner :)
