  • The texture is exactly like that forbidden spoonful you used to steal as a kid
  • Heat treating the flour takes five minutes and changes everything about peace of mind
02 -
  • The flour must cool completely after heat treating or it will melt your butter and change the entire texture
  • Room temperature ingredients make the difference between silky smooth dough and a greasy separated mess
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure flour since too much makes the dough dry and crumbly
  • Mix by hand for the last few steps to avoid overworking the dough which changes the mouthfeel
