3. Roll the dough out on a floured pastry board.
4. Fold the Pastry by bringing the side edges to the middle, and then the top and bottom edges to the middle.

8. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

NOTE:   This is a short cut version of puff pastry and should be used as soon after making as possible.  It is good for meat and poultry pies.
