    SHAPING AND BAKING

    Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 8 mm. Cut into circles using a Ø20-cm ring. Pinch the edges of the circles to create the shape. Turn upside down onto a sheet of baking paper and place in the refrigerator. Mark with the “Lescure” stamp in the middle of each broyé and brush with the egg wash using a fine brush. Score with a fork around the logo. Bake on Silpain mats in a 165°C convection oven for approximately 20 minutes and let cool.

    Chef's Tip

    Be careful not to apply too much glaze and make sure that the score marks are perfectly straight.
