Critical Success Points

  • 15‑minute pause during butter incorporation for gluten reconstitution.
  • Properly shape the snowflake by folding the arms twice outward.
  • Observe the first rise temperature (max 29 °C) to avoid over‑proofing.
  • Bake at 180 °C until golden, monitor the top color.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Be careful with the softened butter as it can be slippery.
  • Do not leave the mixer unattended during the kneading program.
