Puff pastry is easy. You are fearing the unknown!
Phyllo is another story. My Grandma always made apple strudel. I don’t know where she got the dough on did she make it herself. Spent many hours dipping a paint brush in butter and wiping the dough.
She also made her own noodles. She would roll out dough on a huge cloth that she had draped over her dining room table, cut them by hand, hang them in a back room to dry and store them in a bunch of Quaker Oats containers.
To this day the Quaker Oats guy seems to part of my family!!!
That’s a great memory! I will let you know how my frozen puff pastry experience goes once I do it.
My grandmother made her own strudel dough too, I buy the leaves. She made two kinds apple and cheese. And we always made our own noodles, cut up to dry on a opened up brown grocery bag on the dining room table. I have made them too just not lately.
