Puff Pastry
I decided it was time to try out making puff pastry again so that it doesn”t become a forgotten skill! What I had forgotten was the amount of effort involved in making it; 6 rolls, multiple folds and turns of the pastry, as well as numerous chilling sessions in between in order to achieve 729 layers of pastry and butter! Was it worth it? The proof is in the pictures. I made cheese straws with Gruyere and Parmesan, a beef steak and kidney pie and a beef steak and mushroom pie. There is definately a skill involved in making puff pastry that I could still improve on, however I was pretty pleased for my first attempt back home.
I tried out my friends SLR camera to take the photos- I like it- I think I need one!!
