What is the best store bought puff pastry?
Since we aren’t making our own puff pastry there are a few things to keep in mind when buying it from the store. Here are tips for getting the best results: Choose butter, if you can. The two brands of frozen puff pastry you’re most likely to find: Dufour, made with butter, and Pepperidge Farm, made with vegetable-based fats. If you’re a Trader Joe’s shopper, the chain also sells an all-butter version. I recommended using one of these brands as I know them best and approve the taste. You can certainly use another kind if you prefer!
