High temperature butter will melt, whether you are rolling or fermenting, pay attention to the temperature. 3. To coke the butter, put the ordinary butter in a pot and boil it on a small fire, wait until its color is brown, turn off the heat, and filter. 4. The flaky butter has less water content, and the layer will be better than ordinary butter. 5. When rolling ordinary butter into slices, be sure to pay attention to the thickness of the butter slices to be consistent, and there should be no break points. 6. Fold three times during the whole process, two times for four times, and one time for three times. Make a cut on the side each time before rolling, and trim the edges after each rolling. 7. Regarding the freezing during the folding process, feel that the temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted to avoid freezing.
