Preparation
Chef’s notes
If your kitchen is warm, keep your ingredients cold to maintain the butter's texture.
Visible butter flecks in the dough are crucial for flakiness.
Refrigerate the dough if it becomes too soft while handling.
The dough can be stored in the fridge for about a week or longer if wrapped well in the freezer.
