1tsp Salt

DIRECTIONS:


  • Mix vinegar with ice cold water and keep aside.
  • Sift flour with salt in a bowl.Add 1/2cup cold butter and rub it with hand until it resembles to breadcrumbs.
  • Add vinegar-water mixture and make soft sticky dough.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic and keep it in fridge for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Roll the dough using some dry flour into thick rectangular shape.Spread the butter over on 2/3part of it.Fold it as picture shown below.Seal the edges with the help of fork.Again wrap tightly in plastic sheet and keep it in fridge until it get harden.

# DON'T knead the dough after mixing water.
## Use dry flour while rolling.Make sure butter doesn't come out while rolling.If it comes out little bit,just sprinkle some flour over it.
