Revised 1949 recipe
From the revised edition of the Big Cookbook.

Butter pastry for bouchées: washed butter is enclosed in a dough of flour, lemon juice and cold water, then rolled and folded six times with cold rests, before baking in a hot oven. From Erken's Stor kokebok (1949), p. 25.

Erken stresses that butter and dough must have the same consistency, that rolling must be even, and that the oven door must not be opened for the first 20 minutes.
Prepare the butter
Wash the butter in cold water, dry it well in a floured cloth, shape it into a square and chill.
Make the dough
Sift the flour on the work surface and make a well in the middle. Add the lemon juice and the water little by little until you have a smooth dough. The butter decides: if it is soft and sticky, the dough will be too.
Enclose the butter
Roll out the smooth dough, a little wider than the block of butter and a good twice as long. Put the butter on one half, fold the other half over, and press the edges together with the rolling pin so the butter is completely enclosed. Chill for 15 minutes.
Roll and fold six times
Roll out until the dough is three times as long, with the same thickness, and fold in three. Turn the dough so the folded sides are to the right and left, roll and fold again, and set aside for 15 minutes. Repeat until the dough has been rolled out 6 times. Dust with flour between turns and brush it off before rolling on.
Bake
Use the dough for small or large bouchées and bake them straight away in a hot oven (about 220 C) until risen and nicely brown. Do not open the oven door, as cold air makes the pastry collapse. Give good heat and take it calmly for the first 20 minutes.
