Critical Success Points
- • Seal the two pastry parts with the egg wash to prevent the lid from detaching.
- • Do not over‑work the pastry so it stays flaky.
- • Cook the sauce just enough to thicken without boiling it.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
- • Be careful of hot butter splatters in the pan.
