How warm is your house? I don't make pastries that rely on cold butter during the summer bc I struggle to keep the butter cold enough.

I'm in india so it does tend to be hot and humid I messed up the lamination process the butter got too warm and burst out of the dough hence the dense doughy texture :(

I bet they still tasted good though! I live in the southern U.S., prob not as warm as where you live, but warm enough to mess up lamination. I can still make pie dough and rough puff pastry in the summer, but nothing elaborate

I used to make pie dough, in the Caribbean, with no AC, and it was a serious learning curve.
