Quick Puff Pastry - Master Chefs
4 cup Flour, instant, or more
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 lb Butter, unsalted, cut into large chunks
3/4 cup Water, cold (about)
For Quick Puff Pastry: ======================
In a mixing bowl or mixer, roughly combine the flour, salt and
butter, breaking up the butter slightly (there should be visible
chunks). Gradually add just enough cold water to hold the dough
together. DO NOT OVERWORK.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll it
into a rectangular shape about 9 by 12 inches. Dust the board, dough,
and rolling pin with flour as often as necessary to prevent sticking.
Starting with the closest short end, fold the dough into thirds as
you would a letter. Rotate the dough so the open side is at your
right. Repeat, rolling the dough into a rectangle, folding it into
thirds and rotating is as before. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and
chill for at least 1 hour.
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface with the open
side at your right. Roll the dough into a rectangle as before. Now
bring the two short ends together to meet in the center of the dough,
then fold the dough in half again toward you. Rotate a 1/4 turn, so
the open side is again at your right. Repeat, rolling the dough into
a rectangle, folding in half, then in half again, and rotating a 1/4
turn. Wrap the dough and chill again for at least 1 hour.

Diet tips
If you really want to shed a few pounds and also develop your all round vitality, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should commence a thoughtfully calculated wholesome weight loss program. Ideally, this ought to include five helpings of fruit & vegetables every day and also include an appropriate blend of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
In planning a meal plan, you have to try to moderate your intake of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When selecting food, dieters frequently focus on food store and well known food items known as 'low-fat'. This is most certainly an error, since a food product may be lowered in fat content, but still far too high in carbohydrates.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Now and then at some stage in a busy day, you imagine that you want to eat but in reality you might just need a pure glass of water or juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are close, but one of them ends in a broken diet and the other is fine.
Rather than focusing on the unhealthy foods you should eliminate from your daily routine, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you can introduce to your diet. If one can insert a few nutritious pulses and vegetables into your daily routine, you will discover that you feel more satisfied and have a far lower chance of falling prey to those damaging mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
