To make fine Puff Pastry, take equal parts of Butter and Flour: Take 1 pound of Flour, put half in your pan and the other half on the table; then take 1 pound of Butter, wash it well in ice water until you have all the salt washed out; then spread it about 1 inch thick on a pan, and put it on the ice to harden; when hard, out it into four parts put one-fourth into your pan With the flour, cut it in very small pieces with a knife, mix it with cold water to the consistency of bread dough, being careful not to stir it too much. After having mixed it, roll it out very thin with your rolling pin, take another portion of your butter, di vide it in small pieces all over the surface of your pastry. Sprinkle it with flour'; then double it four times, roll it again and take another portion of your butter, and do with it as before; so continue until you have used it all, being careful to save enough flour to roll it out with. When you are ready to bake, after having all the butter in, cut it into four parts; having done so, roll each part up very tight, lay them on a pan and put in a cool place; when it becomes cold, cut off as much as you think proper to cover your plate, roll it very thin, sprinkle some flour over it, double it four times, roll it out about one-eighth of an inch thick, cover your plate, trim off the edge with a sharp knife, and bake in a brisk oven.
Another. - Take 1 pound of butter, wash it well, spread it on a pan, place it on the ice to harden when hard, have ready 1 pound of flour, cut your butter up very fine in it.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
