Counting calories - part II

Today I will continue counting calories of the pastry and dough recipes I gave. The topic will be puff pastry - how much calories each recipe contains (quick and long versions)

Puff pastry (quick version)

In recipe you take (about)

200g of butter or margarine
2 cups of flour
1/2 tea spoon of salt
1 tea spoon of sugar

And get 510 g of puff pastry, 100 of which contains

calories - 415,6
carbohydrates - 44 g
fats - 24 g
proteins - 6,7 g

Then goes puff pastry (long version)
In recipe you take (about)

1 egg
1 tea spoon of sugar
1 tea spoon of salt
1 big spoon of vinegar (7-9%)
1 big spoon of oil
about 200 ml of water
3.5 cups of flour (about 500g)
200 g of butter or unsweetened margarine

And get 918 g of puff pastry, 100 g of which contains

calories - 339.6
carbohydrates - 39.8 g
fats - 17.2 g
proteins - 7 g
So, if you have some time, there is a point to make a long version of puff pastry, it has more layers, rises better and has less calories and fat.
