Puff pastry. The light, flaky, buttery stuff of apple turnovers, beef Wellington, and, of course, the most epic waffles you'll ever eat. It all starts with an unleavened dough of flour, water, salt, and butter, which is rolled out and spread with fat (usually more butter). It's folded, or laminated in baker's speak, until the paper-thin layers number in the hundredsâhence the classic French mille-feuille, or one-thousand sheets. Yup.
1 Preheat oven to 425Â°F degrees. 2  Lightly grease a baking sheet. 3  In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, egg, green onion and pepper; set aside. 4  On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the puff pastry to a 10 inch square. 5  With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 9 even squares, repeat with other half of puff pastry.
