Can i use natralite butter in making puff pastry [closed]

I want to make puff pastry, can i use natralite butter for making the same?

Best Answer

Puff pastry can be made with any fat which won't melt while working the dough (or, at least, in the early stages of working the dough). The higher the softening temperature, the easier it will be to get good results.

I assume that "natralite butter" refers to a type of margarine. Margarine which comes in a tub is intended to be spreadable at refrigerator temperature and has a low melting point, and should not be used for puff pastry or for baking in general. Margarine which comes in sticks will have a higher melting point and is better. The best thing to use (assuming you can't use butter) is shortening, such as Crisco. Shortening has a reasonably high melting point, and a lower moisture content than margarine. Its main problem is that it tastes even less like butter than margarine does, so you may want to mix if the buttery taste is important.
