butter pieces. got it. okay. and here we have a perfectly she did out piece to about reports of an inch. you it get to that perfect rice and part of the fun is when you cutting it out because i make a mess is what you're trying to do is go straight out there we go straight out. note with snow turns straight down, ok? so when you do it and it is up, what you're trying to see are those beautiful marble lies, pieces of butter that you've graded and you don't overwork it. and then the second tip that i had is making an egg wash i just use yolk and a little water and that way i get the right consistency of liquid that i need to not go over the edge if you hit the edges, your blocking the dough from rising as much as you need it to. so once get that, you'll create a perfect. golden crust. okay to your do.
