1. Dough Preparation:

• Using a spatula, spread a thick layer of the prepared patties cream (fat and flour mixture) evenly over the rolled dough.

• Fold the dough into thirds like a book (this is known as a "book fold"), making it into a rectangular shape. Apply the cream layer again after folding.

• Fold the dough once more and place it back in the freezer for another 15 minutes.

4. Second Layering:

• Repeat the rolling, spreading, and folding process as before.

• After the final fold, return the dough to the deep freezer for another 15 minutes.

Method:

1. Baking the Patties:

• Once the dough has gone through the layering process and has rested, take it out of the freezer.

• Roll it out again and cut it into the desired shapes for the patties.

• Place the patties on a baking tray and bake at a preheated temperature until they turn golden and crispy.

2. Cooling and Serving:

• Once baked, allow the patties to cool slightly before serving.

Serving:

• Chicken patties are best served warm as a snack or appetizer. They can be paired with dipping sauces or served alongside tea or coffee.
