The second round of four and three folds is carried out, during which the dough is folded a total of four times, one four-fold, one triple-fold, one four-fold, and one triple-fold.

After the latter tri-fold is completed, the dough can be cut in half and refrigerated or frozen as needed.

Roll out the dough, carve out small pieces with a flower mold, preheat the oven to 160°C, medium layer, and bake for 8-10 minutes.

After making a mille-feuille crisp, Zuo Xiangling motioned to Niu Da Spoon to come over and taste it, and taking advantage of the usual gap between Niu Da Scoop, Zuo Xiangling turned his head to prepare the puffs again.

Place the milk, salt and softened butter cubes in a saucepan and bring to a complete boil, then turn off the heat.

Sift in 60 grams of cake flour and mix evenly with a wooden spoon to form a dough.

Turn on the heat again, over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a batter film appears at the bottom of the pan, then turn off the heat.

Take it out and put it in a mixing basin, cool it down to a hot but not hot temperature, and pour in the whole egg wash in 4 times. Mix well each time and then add the next egg mixture.

The batter is shiny and smooth, and when scooped up and dripped, it will take on the shape of an inverted triangle.

Place the batter in a piping bag. Line a baking tray with oiled paper and squeeze a 4 cm diameter puff batter.

Preheat the oven and bake for about two quarters of an hour, until the surface of the puff is golden brown and expands straight, turn off the heat and continue to simmer for a cup of tea, then take it out and let it cool.

Add sugar to whipping cream and beat with ice water.

Place the cream in a piping bag and squeeze the cream through the bottom of the puff. Or cut the puffs horizontally from the middle and squeeze in the cream.

The temperature of the roasted puffs should be suitable, too high will ripen early, too low will not be conducive to expansion. Do not open the oven lid when baking, otherwise it will affect the puff expansion.

"This should be called mille-feuille."

Niu Da Spoon is an old man who has been a royal chef in the palace for so many years, and he guessed a rough idea as soon as he ate it, not to mention that he had seen Zuo Xiangling's practice just now.

It's just that there are a few processes that are slightly different from what their pastry chefs do, and they are still largely the same.

"It's worthy of Chef Niu, try this again."

Zuo Xiangling gave a thumbs up to the cow spoon, and then proudly pushed the puff in front of her.

Having eaten mille-feuille does not mean that she has eaten puffs, Zuo Xiangling still has full confidence in this point.

Sure enough, Niu Dasco began to look at the puff plate in front of him, and looked at Zuo Xiangling with meaningful scrutiny for a while.

In the end, I made up my mind to pick up a piece and eat it, and as soon as I entered it, my brows were slightly wrinkled, and the more I ate it, the deeper the frown became.

"How does it feel?"

Zuo Xiangling thought that she had missed a detail this time, which affected the taste of this puff, looking at the appearance of the cow spoon, Zuo Xiangling was very shocked.

Picking up a puff and tasting it, Zuo Xiangling chewed, trying to guess Niu Dascoo's mental activity at this time through Niu Dascoo's expression.

Just when Zuo Xiangling was about to open his mouth to ask directly, Niu Dasco showed a relieved look.

"I've never tasted this thing in so many years, this texture is soft and soft, and the dense and gentle filling inside is simply a must."

Looking at Niu Dascoop's praising look, Zuo Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that this ancient person couldn't accept such food, it seemed that she was too worried.

"With Chef Niu, you have to be sure, I think there is another hit on the first floor."

Puffs, like ordinary pastries, can be made all year round, and there is no seasonal limit, but in terms of novelty, Zuo Xiangling is still very optimistic. The end of the world

Niu Dasco smiled from ear to ear, and the two discussed for a long time about the method of puffs and how to promote them.

Before leaving, Zuo Xiangling finally put forward her own ideas.

"Chef Niu, I hope you can put aside your affairs for the time being and go home to spend more time with your family, you have been busy helping me for so long, and I am deeply ashamed that you have no time to spend with your family.

This time you will be given a month's vacation, this month's monthly money will be settled, and when you come back, you want to cook and cook, and you want to make snacks and snacks.

I hope you can reduce your working hours and spend more time with your family and exercise.

This is also a response to our latest policy on the first floor. ”

Zuo Xiangling looked at Niu Da Spoon sincerely, Niu Da Spoon thought that Zuo Xiangling was disgusted with him for being old and couldn't do anything anymore, but after listening to it, he was full of emotion.

has been in the palace for so many years, and it is the first person in my heart to be able to sympathize with their subordinates like this.

"Good, good."

Three good words in a row, I can't say the gratitude in Niu Dasco's heart at the moment, but the deep meaning in his eyes is to explain this emotion very clearly, Zuo Xiangling can clearly feel Niu Dascoo's joy at this time.

sent a carriage to send Niu Dasco home, Zuo Xiangling got into the carriage back to Jingwangfu, and he could make a lunch for Shangguan Feibai when he went back at this time.

Looking at the food box on the small table of the carriage, Zuo Xiangling guessed whether Qin Puze and Zhuo Yunqing would come to eat, which just happened to let them have a long experience.

Niu Dascoo's future work arrangement, Zuo Xiangling is ready to make a systematic plan.

Zuo Xiangling didn't dare to cook and make snacks for a long time, even the most capable old man couldn't withstand the high-intensity workmanship on the first floor, and Niu Da Spoon also brought a few apprentices, at this time, it was enough to take time to teach the apprentices and help her taste the new products.

Back at King Jing's Mansion, Zuo Xiangling was just about to go to the small kitchen to cook for Shangguan Feibai, when he bumped into the three of them sitting in the courtyard chatting.

Seeing that she was coming, Shangguan Feibai got up and greeted her, while Qin Puze was telling the housekeeper something.

"I'm back."

Shangguan Feibai's gentle greeting made Zuo Xiangling's whole person relax.

Nodding slightly, he was pulled by Shangguan Feibai to sit at the table.

"Why don't you talk first, and I'll cook you some food?"

Zuo Xiangling saw that several people were staring at him, but his eyes were obviously different from the usual rice, and Zuo Xiangling couldn't see their intentions clearly.

"No, we brought some side dishes from Chunjiang Building when we came, although it can't catch up with what you made, but the taste is not bad.

After all this time with you, it's time for us to make a statement. ”

While Zhuo Yunqing was talking, the housekeeper came up with two maids with the dishes, thinking that it was a little early, and the dishes had been warm in the kitchen.

"Yo, you've finally found out your conscience, but I don't think I'm a little hairy."

Zuo Xiangling looked at the two of them with a half-smile and half-mocking, such behavior is really abnormal, and I have to guard against it.

"No, you're overthinking."

Qin Puze shook his head helplessly, stuffed a chopstick dish into his mouth, and didn't care about speaking.

Zuo Xiangling saw that there was really no greasy look, so she picked up the chopsticks.

The dishes in this Chunjiang Building are not completely inferior to the first floor, but they are only a little worse in general.
