Critical Success Points

  • Whip egg whites to stiff peaks
  • Incorporate the flour without deflating the batter
  • Precise biscuit baking (8 min at 210 °C)
  • Achieve a ganache that is neither too liquid nor too firm before rolling
  • Roll the biscuit while it is still pliable
  • Freeze the log before glazing to avoid cracks

Safety Warnings

  • Boil the cream with care: it can overflow quickly.
  • Handle the hot oven (210 °C) with kitchen gloves.
  • Use a sharp knife for cuts to avoid slipping.
