Critical Success Points

  • Keep the butter and water very cold
  • Grate the butter quickly to avoid it warming
  • Do not knead the dough, mix just enough to bind
  • Let the dough rest in the fridge between each turn
  • Bake in a very hot oven (200 °C) without opening the door during the first minutes

Safety Warnings

  • Handling frozen butter can make hands slippery – work on a stable surface.
  • The oven reaches 200 °C – use kitchen gloves.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully.
