Cooking tips:1. Natural butter must be used for thousand layers of pastry. Margarine and shortening are not allowed. When baking a thousand layers of pastry, sprinkle some sugar on the surface. It will be sweeter when baking. 2. Be very careful when making the thousand layer pastry. Avoid the butter that is wrapped in becoming too soft. Otherwise, it is easy to leak oil. So it's hard to make a thousand layers of pastry when it's hot. That's why we put them in the refrigerator every step of the way. When the weather is cold, we should consider how to make the butter not so hard, so as to avoid being lumpy in the dough and not easily rolling with the dough. 3. Don't store Napoleon crispy for too long after it's made. It's the most delicious when you eat it now. 4. The baking temperature and time are only for reference.
