Ingredients

Napoleon

1. Mix low powder and high powder through a sieve, add butter and salt after refrigerating, and mix gently. Add cold water, mix with a fork, and knead a round dough that is soft like an earlobe. Use a knife to make a cross on the dough to the depth of about half the dough, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Take out the refrigerated dough, sprinkle some high-gluten flour on the countertop to prevent stickiness, and sprinkle some on the dough. Flatten the four corners and roll it into a dough that is twice the size of the cream slice. Put the cream slice in the middle of the dough, and then fold the four corners in the middle to drive out the air inside and pinch all the gaps. After finishing the shape, use a rolling pin to gently press the long dough. Turn it over and press it from the other two sides to form a large, even dough, pierce the bubbles in time. Gently roll out the rectangular dough and fold in three to remove the bubbles. Then press into square slices, blow bubbles, roll out into a rectangular dough, and fold in three more times. After folding, put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

6. Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a basin with a whisk like rubbing the moles to make them whitish, sift in the low-gluten powder, and mix them to a large extent. Add the milk and the split vanilla pod to the milk pan. After boiling, let it cool slightly. Carefully add the egg yolk paste and stir until it is well mixed. Filter the mixture back into the pot, stir while heating over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Reduce the heat and use a rubber spatula to scrape the thick cream sauce while heating. After everything becomes thick, let it go from the heat and stir it with a stirrer to observe the concentration. Until the whole becomes a very smooth and shiny state. Quickly pour it into the cooking pot, wrap it with plastic wrap, and cool down with cold water for later use.

Tips:

I’m in a hurry, and I’m too lazy to stack so many layers...The pie swells terribly when it is baked, so I have to split several layers one by one and use it. I have time to study the craft...

Vanilla sugar is a seasoning sugar obtained by splitting the pods into sections and mixing them with caster sugar.

The custard cream is very fragrant, smooth and easy to make. When stirring, it should be fast and wide, and don't overheat it, as the cream will become lumpy.
