   • 1884, Wyvern [pseudonym; Arthur Robert Kenney-Herbert], chapter VII, in Sweet Dishes: A Little Treatise on Confectionery and Entremets Sucrés, Madras: Higginbotham and Co., page 65:

     In my opinion it is so very inferior to puff-paste, that I recommend its use in no branch of cookery whatever. If a cook be wholly incapable of making eatable puff-pastry, he may, of course, be permitted to fall back upon his “butter crust,” but I would never allow him to do so unless quite satisfied of his incompetence.
