Rough-puff pastry
50 comments
"My Beautiful Grandma was a trained Cordon-Bleu chef, and one of my happiest childhood memories is of sitting on the worktop in her scullery and watching Nana make her famous Apple and Blackberry Pie, using of course Rough Puff Pastry. Devastatingly, Nana passed on when I was 18, and although I am now 37, when I close my eyes I can still taste her pastry, and remember what it felt like as it melted against the roof of my mouth. Gran taught my mother to cook and in turn they both taught me, but over the years my mother and I both forgot the recipe for Rough Puff, I am so very happy that I have found it here. Hopefully now I can give my son the same memories of this wonderful pastry that my Nana gave to me. Memories which last an entire lifetime."
