Napoleon cake

How to make it

1. 1

   Make the dough

   Crumble one third of the butter into the flour and stir in the water a little at a time. Beat the rest of the butter into the dough with a rolling pin.

2. 2

   Roll out and cut

   Roll the dough out very thin and lay it on a baking sheet. Cut strips three fingers wide and 10–12 cm long with a pastry wheel dipped in flour.

3. 3

   Bake

   Put the sheet in the oven and bake the strips light golden brown at moderate heat.

4. 4

   Fill and glaze

   When the strips are completely cool, spread one strip with cream. Lay another strip on top, bottom side up, and glaze.
