It\u2019s so very easy to make, unless you crave to take on the time consuming and laborious task of making the puff pastry dough from scratch, making sure that you keep the dough at a temperature of approximately 16\u00b0C (60\u00b0F), and that it rests in between folds. If you\u2019re among mortals like myself, who\u2019re sometimes (note that <em>sometimes<\/em> is the keyword here) okay with being just a tad short of a perfectionist, then you can rest assured that the frozen puff pastry sheets will yield as great a product as the dough prepared from scratch.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So much for the Prologue!!!
