Puff pastry (defrosted) - how long will it keep in the fridge?

Hello everybody,

I know it's a bit cheeky to have my first post be a question but I'm really stumped on this one. I defrosted some puff pastry for a steak pie yesterday and only used half the block. The rest is in the fridge. I want to use it for chicken pie in a day or two.

So, how long will it keep in the fridge? Also, can you refreeze it?

    Should be fine for another day or two in the fridge. Definitely do not freeze it again, unless you want to cook your pie and freeze some of that.

    The rule is freeze raw once and cooked once in order to be safe.

    HTH.

    I've kept it for 2 days before using and it was fine.
