Puffy Too, or One, and Counting


Q: If two pastry students (i.e., Dee and myself) split one batch of puff pastry dough containing 18 ounces of butter, and one student (i.e., me) makes 10 small palmiers with 1/2 of her share of the dough, how many ounces of butter does each palmier have?

Extra Credit: How many palmiers would the student (me) have eaten if she's now consumed almost one ounce of butter?

  1. you ate 2 plus a tiny bite of a third, which i can't understand why you wouldn't have finished, they look pretty good.
