I shouldn't be baking when I am too tired, especially not something new:
I did only enough turns for croissants, getting 32 layers. Butter everywhere!
The next try was much better, with 256 layers:
But this time I think the problem is the oven. Fan only, and the door seems to loose a lot of heat.
I rotated the baking sheet every 10 minutes during the bake.
Cheers,

Those look amazing! Nice job.
Those look great. My puff just sticks together like it's glued, which is a terrible way to eat it.
256 layers :- O
I am amazed and in awe. These look beautiful. Like they would simply melt in your mouth.

for your generous comments.
I am always amazed watching laminated dough puff up, and with vol-ay-vents it is this 1.2 cm thick ring that has to expand to over 5 times its height.
Actually not that difficult to make, but in a way hard to believe it works.
Watching them bake is better and more thrilling than any TV show!
