Puff pastry or pâte feuilletée in French, is a light, delicious, and remarkably versatile pastry made from laminated dough. It consists of the dough, known as the détrempe, and the butter, known as the beurrage. In the traditional French pastry method, the beurrage is placed onto the détrempe then repeatedly rolled out and folded and multiple layers separated by butter form.
