Critical Success Points

  • Keeping the butter cold while making puff pastry
  • Chilling the dough and the rolled sheets to prevent shrinkage
  • Achieving a firm frangipane before piping
  • Sealing the edges tightly to avoid leaks
  • Applying two thin egg washes for even colour
  • Baking at high temperature first, then reducing for even puffing

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when cutting the dough.
  • Raw eggs are used; ensure they are fresh or use pasteurized eggs.
