3. Layering and Baking

  • Sprinkle a thin layer of dry flour on cutting rolling pin and surface
  • Flatten the dough to rectangle
  • Place cold salted egg butter on and wrap it up by the dough and seal edges closely.
  • Flatten the dough and fold it up
  • Turn the dough right angle and flatten it, the fold again.
  • Repeat the flatten-fold process for 5-6 times, then refrigerate in fridge in 20 minutes

The pastry dough should be flatten as thin as possible (around 0.3-0.5cm) so that the cracker will be more crispy and crunchy.
