Where can I buy a vegan puff pastry dough? Or, if need be, how do I make it without eggs or butter?
I wουƖԁ prefer tο bυу іt pre-mаԁе. If I һаνе tο mаkе іt, I want tһе dough tο come out tһе same way аѕ tһе regular puff pastry dough, without tһе egg οr butter ingredients, ѕο I need tο know wһаt substitutes wουƖԁ work аѕ well. I һаνе checked tһе Trader Joe's website, bυt didn't find іt. Arе tһеrе οtһеr vegan stores around tһе Detroit City area tһаt I саח call?

I am a former chef and now a vegetarian and most common puff pastry is not made with egg nor is it animal stout or butter.
Frozen is made with a veg based special shortening and is available in most grocry stores frozen section around the pie crusts, filo or tart shells, in the trade we used a small amount of butter for flavour, but for the flakiness the shorteneing was used, it is better and more predictable. I would check the marks, and for the Metro Detriot area a trip to Canada and to a grocery store in Windsor they have it in the same area as your local stores, it is not expensive around $3.00 for a package and it is around 500 grams or 1 american pound in weight.

Crisco is vegan, but it is not healthy and frankly, a bit gross. But you can substitute it for butter. I’m sorry, there aren’t any doable substitutes for egg that are easily obtainable (unless you can get your hands on agar or guar gum) but it won:t be puffy>>

I reckon you are talking about fillo dough.
I just bought some — whole grain too. It’s all vegan as far as I know. Got it at the local health food store.
And you don’t place butter on it anyway, you use oil.
Extra virgin olive oil. It’s all about layering and oil.
