Mango Pie
I used a bit too much butter for the lamination when making this. Since I opted for margarine, it seemed to have a higher water content and turned out a bit too soft. The handling process was a little tricky, but popping it into the fridge to chill for a while made it much easier to work with.
Story
Making this mango pie was quite the learning experience! I accidentally added a bit too much laminating butter, and using margarine made the dough a little too soft due to its higher water content. While the dough was a bit tricky to handle at first, a quick chill in the refrigerator made the whole process much smoother and far easier to manage.
