Puff Pastry

1 bunch of pastry
15 minutes 15 mins prep
8 ounces flour
4 ounces butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 drops lemon juice
cold water
Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl; add the lemon juice and the butter
broken into pieces the size of a walnut.
Add sufficient cold water to bind the ingredients together.
Turn on to a floured board, and roll the pastry into a long strip.
Fold it in three, and press the edges together.
Half turn the pastry, rib it with the rolling pin to equalize the air in
it, and again roll it into a strip.
Fold in three and repeat this until the pastry has had four rolls, folds
and half-turns.
It is then ready for use.
