Ingredients

• 600 g. pastry flour
• 400 g. cold butter
• 60 g. of sugar
• 50 g. white wine
• 50 g. orange juice
• Zest of 3 oranges
• Powdered sugar

Crafting

We clean the oranges and we grated the skin. Then we squeeze what is necessary to obtain 50 g. of juice.

We weigh the flour and sift it. We put it in the bowl of the food processor together with the flour, the sugar, the butter cut into sheets, the juice, the zest and the white wine. We mix well until all the ingredients are united.

We make a ball with the dough, wrap it well in transparent film and the let it rest in the refrigerator two hours minimum.

After time has elapsed, we take the dough out of the fridge and place it on a floured surface. We let it temper and then, with the help of a roller, we stretch it to a thickness of approximately 1 cm. We then fold one end towards the center and then the other, leaving these overlapping. We pay attention that there is no excess flour on the inside face that we are going to fold; if so, we remove it with a brush before making the folds. We stretch it again with the roller into a rectangle and we make another fold. We repeat this process 3 more times.

We stretch the dough for the last time with the roller to a thickness of 1,5 cm and the we cut into squares using a cutter or a good knife.

We place the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and the we bake at 190º, 30 minutes, until they start to brown.

When they are done, they are carefully removed and placed on a rack to cool. Finally I know sprinkle with icing sugar.
