Russian Napoleon Cake Recipe
1.Prepare the Cake Layers:
-In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-In a small bowl, mix the cold water and vinegar. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
-Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shape each into a ball, and flatten slightly. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2.Bake the Cake Layers:
-Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake each layer for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
