When I was in college, Napoleon Cake in the school supermarket used to be one of my favorite snacks. What's more, the love lasted for a long time. Later, there were more and more opportunities to contact with all kinds of desserts. I also had not eaten Napoleonic pastry for a long time. Later, I found that many people, like me, used to like this kind of special dessert. So, the feeling of nostalgia for it came out. It was out of control. Napoleonic pastry was originally a French dessert, but now it appears frequently in Chinese pastry shops. Naturally, Napoleonic pastry sold here also has a strong Chinese feeling - crisp pastry + thick cream + delicate cake.

Cooking tips:1. Napoleonic pastry is not complicated. Its biggest feature is combination. It is nothing more than a combination of three kinds of things we have already introduced in our blog (thousand layers of pastry, Qifeng cake, cream cream). But the production of Napoleonic pastry can't be said to be easy. Only by mastering the size and thickness of the pastry and the thickness and size of the cake, can we make Napoleonic pastry with beautiful appearance. 2. When baking a thousand layers of pastry, because the whole pastry is relatively large, it should be roasted to the middle and the outside as crisp. It is recommended to bake it at 220 ℃ for about 8 minutes until the layers are fully expanded, and then reduce the temperature to 180 ℃. When baking to the golden yellow of the pastry, it can ensure that the inside and outside of the pastry are as crisp and layered. 3. After Napoleon pastry is made, if the surface of the pastry is uneven and not beautiful enough, you can sprinkle a layer of sugar powder on the surface as decoration.
