Before you begin
Two book folds and one letter fold build the layers, with short freezer rests between turns. If the butter begins to soften or smear as you roll, chill the dough before continuing.
Method 做法
Prepare the dough and butter
Mix the dough ingredients until they come together. Wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Arrange the cold laminating butter between sheets of baking paper and roll to an even sheet about 3 mm thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Enclose and turn
Roll the dough into a rectangle. Lay the butter on one half, fold the other half over it and seal the edges. Freeze for 15 minutes. Roll long, fold both ends to the centre, then fold in half like a book. Freeze for 15 minutes, repeat the book fold, and freeze for another 15 minutes.

Make the final fold and shape
Roll out again and fold in thirds like a letter. Freeze for 15 minutes, then roll into a rectangle about 3 mm thick. Mark the width into six equal sections. Fold the two long edges inward in stages toward the centre, then bring the two halves together. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
Slice, sugar and bake
Slice the folded log crosswise about 1 cm thick. Coat the cut pieces with sugar and space them on a lined baking sheet so the layers have room to open. Bake at 170°C (338°F) for about 30 minutes.
