I made an egg tart with a crisp texture that has a lively grain. I cut the pie sheet lengthwise, panned it with the side facing out, and baked it. The shape of the pie puffed up while baking was interesting and it was really crispy, so it was so delicious to eat the sheet alone. I think it’s important to work while the dough is cold enough to harden after applying butter and folding for the pie sheet texture to come out well. The filling is soft and light, so the combination with the pie sheet is good. It looks good, so it feels delicious just by looking at it.
