Tips:
1. When kneading the oily crust, be sure to knead it until the surface is smooth. It is best to pull out the glove film, so that the oily crust has a certain degree of toughness to cover the oily pastry and not easy to crack and mix. I used hot water to knead the dough, so the dough will be very soft even if you can't knead it out.
2. The water absorption of flour is different, and it is affected by seasonal humidity. The amount of lard and water in the recipe is not necessarily dead. If you feel that the kneaded dough is too dry, you can add some lard or water. Very sticky, you can add some flour. The final kneaded dough should be soft but easy to handle.
3. The relaxation time required for each step must be reached, so that the dough has sufficient ductility, will not burst or crack when baking, and the finished product will have a good shortening effect. Roll it out twice and then roll it up again. The rolling action should be as gentle as possible to prevent the pastry from leaking.
4. In the process of making, always remember to cover with plastic wrap after finishing, and don't let the dough become dry.
5. The lard in the recipe can be replaced with the same amount of butter or vegetable oil, but as far as the effect is concerned, the shortening effect of lard is the best.
