Puff pastry is a flaky and buttery dough that is commonly used in pastries, pies, and tarts. It is made by incorporating butter into the dough through a process of folding, rolling, and layering. When baked, the butter melts and creates pockets of air between the layers, resulting in a crispy and delicate texture. Although time-consuming to make from scratch, the end result is worth the effort and can elevate any dessert or savory dish.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix flour and salt together
2.	Add butter and lemon juice and mix until crumbs form
3.	Slowly add cold water until dough forms
4.	Knead the dough a few times and wrap in plastic wrap
5.	Chill for at least 30 minutes before using
