"Just used this recipe nd the shortcrust recipe to make a chicken and mushroom pie. First time making puffed pastry and it turned out pretty good. The top was a little doughy but top few layers of the pastry were nice and crispy. Only problem is i found the instructions a bit vague because i thought puff pastry was folded more than 4 times. So i did fold it a few more times after using up the butter before using it. So basically simple and will use again :)"
