Prepare a sheet of greaseproof paper and spread some butter on it.

Place another sheet of paper on top and roll up the butter until flat and thin.

Put the rolled butter in the fridge to firm up while making the dough.

In a bowl, combine red flour, salt, and sugar, then mix them together.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add cold water and lemon juice, using a sieve to catch seeds.

Mix the ingredients, then knead in the bowl with hands when it becomes too thick to mix with a spatula.

Knead in the butter that was forgotten initially, until fully incorporated.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about three times the size of the butter in length.

Fold the dough over the butter, ensuring the butter is sealed inside the dough.

Squish the dough down with a rolling pin before rolling it out again to the same length as before.

Fold the dough again to create layers, then turn it for a book turn.

If the butter gets too warm, cover the dough and refrigerate it.

Continue to roll out and fold the dough until it has sufficient layers, then refrigerate until firm.
