759.0. "Creme Horn Info Needed" by SEINE::MAY (Jim) Mon Oct 12 1987 13:25

    	I just purchased a set of metal creme horn molds over this
    	past weekend.  The instructions tell you how to wrap the
    	molds with "your" favorite puff pastry recipe.
    	I began to refer to my books for "Thee" puff pastry recipe,
    	only to find numerous complicated, time consuming and a
    	lot of work recipes.  Involving such instructions as squeezing
    	butter in ice-chilled water til your fingers fall off, to
    	putting the dough in the refrigerator for 5 one-hour intervals.
    
    	Anyone know of a "good" puff pastry recipe that doesn't involve
    	an entire Saturday just for the dough preparation?
    
    	Better yet, does anyone know where I could buy ready-to-go-dough?

Pepperidge Farm markets a ready made puff pastry dough that is very good. It
is usually in the freezer section near the pepperidge farm turnovers. All you
have to do is thaw it, cut it into strips and wrap it around your holders. It
also makes wonderful apple turnovers very quickly. I don't know where you
live, but I can get it at Alexanders in Merrimack, NH, so if you live in
Eastern Mass or the west coast you should have no problem finding it. I
realize that there are some places more in the middle of nowhere than
Merrimack NH, but finding certain foodstuffs is so difficult here that
sometimes I forget that!
