Ingredients:

Directions:

  2. Chill for 1 hour then roll out like pie dough on a floured pastry sheet. Spread another 1/4 pound of the butter over dough. Fold dough together and refrigerate 1 hour. Repeat this procedure until all of the butter is used.

  4. Take out one quarter at a time and allow to stand at room temperature long enough that it softens enough that the dough can be rolled.
