The (School)made Puff Pastry and the Giant Scone

For some strange reason, I felt like supergirl today :) I was moving at top speed, weighing, mixing, and even my knife felt like a superhero gadget! Cutting fruits never seemed faster (and easier!)

We made more members of the puff pastry family today, with the puff pastry that we made from scratch. Mind you, all that violence in molding our butter, all that repeated rolling and turning of course resulted in the end product that was far from what you'd get in your friendly neighbourhood supermarket. Call it psychological but it really did taste a lot better!

Palmiers and the Bande were the order of the day and while Chef said that my Palmiers were a tad big, everything turned out pretty nicely :) But aren't Palmiers supposed to be nice and big anyway?





















Part 2 of Wednesday was spent on Bread 101. Seriously, who needs anger management therapy when you can knead (pulverise), throw (whack) and punch your dough! Plus, you get to eat the product of violence! Tell me just how often and under what circumstances can violence be this delicious?

The white rolls turned out much better than our little adventure earlier this week while the Soda Bread we made looked like a x10 version of a scone!! Even its texture too was kinda crumbly like my all time favourite :)

Thank goodness I managed to divide and pack everything to my team of eaters (which has dwindled to a very sad 4). Eating these sweet/savoury treats can get addictive.

And Superheroes can't have such a diet, can they?
