Critical Success Points

  • Keep the butter very cold throughout the preparation
  • Execute the turns (single, double) correctly for an airy puff pastry
  • Seal the two sheets with cold water rather than egg
  • Heat the oven to 230 °C then lower to 190 °C to avoid an over‑inflated puff pastry
  • Pierce small holes in the patterns to release steam

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of the very hot surfaces of the oven (230 °C).
  • Boiling milk can splash, handle with care.
  • Use the scalpel or knife with concentration to avoid cuts.
