Almost all of us remember the taste of puff tongues; they were often sold in buffets and cafeterias, sprinkled with sugar or powder. Let's remember the taste of this dessert, and at the same time get acquainted with the recipe for the tongues.
Puff pastry pastries
Delicious homemade pastries are prepared without any filling, so where does this popularity come from? I especially loved puff tongues for their unforgettable dough and crispy texture. This recipe remains relevant because the dough for it is quite simple to prepare, can withstand freezing, and can be defrosted, cut and put in the oven at any time. And the puff pastries are prepared very quickly. It only takes half an hour to prepare them and surprise your loved ones with such deliciousness.
Ingredients
What ingredients do we need for dessert? To prepare baked goods according to the puff tongue recipe, you need:
- 250 g wheat flour;
- 100 ml of clean cold water;
- 1 pinch of salt;
- 200 g butter;
- sugar to taste;
- a little vegetable oil to grease the baking sheet.
Preparing the dough
Let's start getting acquainted with the recipe for sugar tongues by preparing the dough. You can significantly reduce the time it takes to prepare puff pastries. After all, puff pastry can be bought frozen in the supermarket. The finished product just needs to be defrosted, cut and baked. But the dough according to the recipe for tongues is not so difficult to make, but it requires a lot of preparation time. Let's try to cook it at home.
Sift 200 g of flour through a sieve into one large bowl, the remaining 50 into another. Thanks to sifting, the flour is saturated with oxygen, which makes the baked goods softer and airier. In addition, all small lumps will break up. Set aside 50 g of flour, we will need it a little later.
Pour a pinch of salt into a glass of clean cold water and stir thoroughly with a teaspoon. Use fine salt; it’s easier to mix it with water to form a homogeneous salt solution.
Place the butter on a cutting board and cut into small cubes with a knife. Transfer them to a plate and set aside until they come to room temperature.
Slowly pour the saline solution into the bowl of flour and stir with a spoon. Then switch to kneading with your hands, gradually adding flour as needed.
Knead the dough until it comes off easily from your hands. The consistency should be stiff and elastic.
Form it into a ball, put it in a bag or wrap it in cling film, and leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Mix pieces of butter with 50 g of flour into one butter mixture. Wrap the container with cling film and leave in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Take out the dough and roll it into a rectangular layer 5 mm thick. Then coat it with a thin layer of oil mixture, leaving 1 cm from the edge.
Fold the dough into an envelope, wrap it in film and leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
After half an hour, roll out the envelope into a new layer. Don't unfold it. Grease the layer again, fold the dough back into an envelope and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
For the tongues recipe, repeat this step 6 times. You can do more - the number of layers depends on this.
Recipe for puff tongues with sugar
Roll out the dough into a square again, maintaining a thickness of about 0.7 cm. Using a knife (it is convenient to use a pizza cutter), cut the dough first into 3-4 strips lengthwise and then crosswise to make small rectangles 3 by 4 cm .
Sprinkle a wide cutting board with sugar. Place pieces of dough on it at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Go over the puff pastry once with a rolling pin. This is necessary so that the sugar grains stick to the dough.
Using a pastry brush, grease the baking sheet with a small amount of vegetable oil. And also, at a distance of a centimeter, place the puffs on it, sugar side up.
Preheat the oven in advance to 200-220 degrees. Place the puff pastries in a well-heated oven for 20-25 minutes. Sweet crispy buns are baked until golden brown.
Be careful: turning on the oven to maximum is not an option, as this can simply dry out the delicious baked goods. Also, do not open it again so that the puffs do not fall down. If they don't rise well, they won't be as crispy.
Puff feeding
Using kitchen tongs, transfer the still warm pastries onto a flat dish or tray, decorate as desired and serve. The puff pastries turn out incredibly tasty. Children simply adore the tongues for their crispy, golden crust and slightly moist layers of dough inside. Just lick your fingers! This is a worthy dessert for hot tea, coffee or cocoa.
And finally, a few tips for successfully preparing delicious baked goods.
If you like drier puff pastries so that the slices are thin and dry, then prepare the dough with less butter. Or add more flour.
The aromatic tongues are usually prepared without any filling, simply sprinkled with sugar - they are already very tasty. However, if you want to treat yourself to something sweet, you can make puff pastries with jam, semolina cream or condensed milk.
Crispy puff pastries are traditionally decorated with sugar or powdered sugar. You can also use various chopped nuts or candied fruits. The nuts will add an incredible smell to the buns; be sure to try adding a little crushed peanuts - it’s delicious.
Here is a simple but very successful recipe for puff pastry tongues. Puff pastry is universal in cooking - if not for puff pastry, then for a pie or snack, our dough recipe will definitely come in handy. Bon appetit!

It is believed that puff pastry was first prepared by the Frenchman Claude Laurent. He decided to please his sick father, who was prescribed a strict diet, and bake delicious bread especially for him from water, flour and a small amount of butter. While kneading the dough, Claude remembered that he forgot to add fat, so he had to add it to the finished dough and knead it several times. After baking, the pastry chef noticed that the “bread” turned out unusually tall and flaky. After Claude got a job in a pastry shop, he perfected his recipe, which later brought him fame and money.
Ingredients:
- Puff pastry without yeast - 500 g (1 package)

Puff pastries are very popular among those with a sweet tooth. They are prepared in various shapes: triangular, square, crescent, in the form of bows. They come with or without filling. Sweet products are baked with apples, cottage cheese, cherries or other berries. You can also use ham and cheese, mushrooms, chicken, and beef as filling.
You can use ready-made dough to bake puff pastry, but if you have time, then, of course, it’s better to make it yourself. To do this, you should take into account some nuances:
- Flour should be taken only of the highest grade and be sure to sift it. This way it will be saturated with oxygen and the products will turn out more magnificent.
- You can use either butter or margarine for the dough. The main thing is that their fat content is high. In this case, the mass will be more tender.
- It is better to knead the dough in cold (not ice) water. Milk may be used instead. In this case, the taste of the finished products will be tastier, but the elasticity of the dough will become less.
- Roll out the mass in several stages, and it must be cold. To do this, it is periodically placed for 20-30 minutes. in the refrigerator. The layer must be rolled out in one direction, in a thin layer, avoiding any breaks.
- Be sure to cut out the puff pastries with a sharp knife, since a dull knife can tear the edges and the baked goods will not rise well.
- Before putting the puff pastries in the oven, pierce them with a knife or fork - this will allow the surface to remain smooth.
- If you decide to brush the top of the baked goods with yolk, then you should not cover the sides. The fact is that the egg mixture will not allow the mass to rise.
- Place the products immediately on a baking sheet or on parchment.
- When baking, it is forbidden to open the oven, otherwise the puff pastries will not rise.
If you decide to purchase ready-made dough in a store, pay attention to its expiration date. Before purchasing, run your hand over it - it should be firm and even. If you notice even a slight deformation, it is better not to use such dough, since it has already been defrosted.

How to make puff tongues with sugar from ready-made dough
Divide the layer of finished dough (you can not defrost it completely, but just a little bit so that the dough can be cut) into diamonds or rectangles with a knife.
All your actions must be quick so that the dough does not have time to warm up to room temperature, since the products will rise poorly in the oven or lose their “flakyness.” For the same purposes, the oven should be preheated in advance.
You get rectangles measuring 10-12 cm by 4-5 cm. Brush with egg with a pastry brush.
The beaten egg can be replaced with strong brewed black tea. Thanks to the tea, the puff pastries will get a delicious tan in the oven.
Place the dough pieces on a baking sheet lightly sprinkled with flour. Cover the puff tongues with brown sugar in a thin layer. You can use baking paper as a safety net, in this case the puff pastries will definitely not stick to the baking sheet. Remember that you need to leave 2-3 cm between the puff pastries so that they do not stick to each other during baking.
