Alex watched the commotion excitedly while Zhang Liang followed him into the kitchen. He said, "Is it troublesome to make the palmier? Why don't I help you?"
"Sure."
"The most troublesome thing about this is the forming the crispy layers, so the choice of flour is especially important. You must use T65 high-grade flour. Only then can the dough be kneaded and stretched again and again without breaking."
Xu Le took the flour, butter, sugar, milk, salt, and water and mixed them together. First, he wore gloves and stirred them evenly. Then, he added the liquid ingredients into the dough portions by portions until it was soft.
Zhang Liang said, "It doesn't look too difficult."
Xu Le shook his head with a sincere smile. "I don't recommend anyone to try making this dessert at home. Some desserts still need to be made by professional bakers."
"It's not like you to say such depressing things at the start."
